The men’s and women’s indoor track
teams posted another successful year. The
teams annually compete on NCAA Division
I and Division II levels and again produced
excellent results.
Eleven men and nine women competed
in the NAIA Indoor National Track & Field
Championships in early March.  Highlighting
those performances was Lee Ann Fleming,
who set a new SHU record in the weight
throw.  Fleming threw 53 feet 5.5 inches
for fifth place and was named to the AllAmerican team. 
The men’s 800 relay team of Eric Walter, Jon
Kleinow, Jameel Jones, and Cole Monaghan
qualified first in the preliminaries and came
close to becoming national champs with a
time of 7 minutes 43.91 seconds.  Their time
in the finals was two seconds faster then
their qualifying time, but they came in third. 
The relay team was also named to the NAIA
All-American team. 

The Saints volleyball team finished the
season with a 12-18 overall record. They finished fourth in the WHAC and advanced into
the WHAC Tournament. In round one, the
Saints beat Spring Arbor University 30-18,
30-23, and 33-31. In the semi-final round,
the Saints fell to the sixth-ranked Madonna
Crusaders 30-11, 30-21, and 30-23.
Four Saints were named to 2003 All-WHAC
teams. Patty Horal, who led the Saints in
kills, was named to the All-WHAC first team. 
Cassia Antos and Kelly Abdo were named to
the second team and Amanda Harrall was
named to the all-freshman team.
The baseball and softball teams started their
season during spring break. The softball
team traveled to Fort Myers, Fla., for 10
games, while the baseball team ventured
to Kentucky, Alabama, and Tennessee for a
combination of 11 games. Season outlooks

Cole Monaghan placed seventh in the 800meter run with a time of 1:56.87. Cole was
also named an All-American.

with a mark of 23’2.5”. 
The women’s 800 relay team (Leonie Vanderhoff, Marie VanZandt, Becky Riddle, and
Krishawna Parker) finished 10th with a time
of 9:51.32. Gretchen Shoup tied for 11th in
the high jump with a mark of 5’3.75”. 
Rounding out the highlights was Luke
Forrest in the weight throw.
