Complete Meet Results

NAMPA, Id. (Feb. 21) ­ Freshman sprinter Kenyatta Leonhardt won two events as Seattle Pacific University, boosted by its freshman class, claimed the inaugural Great Northwest Athletic Conference indoor track & field championships Saturday at the Jackson Center.

The Falcons, piling up the majority of their points in the sprints, relays and middle distances, got won six events altogether to finish with a comfortable margin over runner-up Western Oregon, 160-136 1/2. Seattle Pacific freshmen totaled 85 points and four of the five individual victories.

Leonhardt (Fr., Petaluma, Ca./St. Vincent) broke her own school record in the 60-meter dash in 7.95 seconds and came back to take the 200 in 25.40. She surged to the lead in the final 15 meters of the 60 and went in front coming out of the final turn in the 200, winning by 0.90 seconds. Leonhardt was voted freshman of the meet and Jack Hoyt was named coach of the year.

Terran Legard of Central Washington was voted outstanding performer. She finished behind Leonhardt in the two sprints, won the 400 and anchored the Wildcats' winning 1600 relay. Leonhardt, running the third leg, had put Seattle Pacific in the lead.

Paul Mach (Sr., Seattle, Wa./King's) improved his own Seattle Pacific record in the 800, winning in 1:51.49­the fourth-best time in NCAA Division II this winter.
