ROME, Ga. – The Lady Flames track squad finished 12^th at the 2015 National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) National Championships. Lee placed eight athletes in scoring position (top eight) and had three athletes earn NCCAA All-American status in four different events.

Fellow Gulf South Conference members Shorter University and Mississippi College also participated in the two-day event at Historic Barron Stadium and Maddox Track. Shorter won the team championship with 108.5 points, Lee had 38 points and Mississippi College was 13^th with 36 points.

Adrian Martin led the way with two second-place finishes and two NCCAA All-American honors. Martin finished the 100 meter dash in 12.20, just 0.06 seconds behind Shorter's Kemor Anderson. In the 200 meter dash, Ayana Walker (Shorter) set the meet record at 23.53, while Martin (24.12) was 0.6 seconds faster than Anderson.

"Adrian ran two great races," said Lee head coach Caleb Morgan. She recorded a personal record in the 200 meter, but it wasn't quite enough. The athlete Adrian finished just off of in the 200 meter is an NCAA Division II champion. That gives us a really good idea of where Adrian will stack up next year when we can compete in the postseason."

Audrey Smith finished just outside of All-American status with a fourth-place finish in the 3000 meter steeplechase. She recorded a time of 11:41.13.

Smith joined Jessica Childers in the 1500 meter run. Childers placed seventh (4:41.35) and Smith was 23^rd (4:59.88).

"You can tell a lot about an athlete's mental drive when doubling back in an event at a championship," added Morgan. "I am very proud of Jessica and Elizabeth (Sillcocks). They wanted to pick up All-American honors in the 10000 meter and 1500 meter. Neither athlete was quite good enough to do so, but hey both came back highly motivated and determined in their secondary events and ran with a focus and determination to pick up All-American honors in the 800 meter and 5000 meter."

Childers followed her seventh-place finish in the 1500 meter run with third place in the 800 meter run (2:14.96). Brianna Prugh was 25^th in the event with a mark of 2:27.76.

Less than 24 hours after not finishing the 10000 meter run, Sillcocks earned a spot on the 5000 meter podium with a third-placed finish (18:19.20).

Emily Bryan earned a point for the team with an eighth-place finish in the 400 meter hurdles. She recorded a time of 1:09.63.
