Baylor track and field’s freshman duo vaults way into nationals

By Tyler White | Sports Writer

As the track and field indoor season winds down, Baylor prepares to send some of its best athletes to the NCAA Indoor National Championship. In this group, two freshmen have been making a large impact on the team: pole vaulters Alencia Lentz and Molly Haywood.

Throughout the entire season, both freshmen have been going head-to-head in competitions, right on the heels of each other. Since the fall, they have been able to push each other in practice as they compete for better scores.

Brandon Richards, assistant track and field coach and pole vaulters coach, said being able to coach the two athletes has been a blessing.
