WINONA LAKE – Grace was honored two more Player of the Week awards this past week.
CAMPBELL A STANDOUT IN WOMEN’S TRACK
Following an incredible weekend, Nordia Campbell was named the NCCAA National Track Athlete of the Week on Monday.
Campbell starred for Grace’s track and field team over the weekend at the 2020 NCCAA National Championships. She had a part in four national championship events, including two solo races and two relays.
She won the 60-meter dash in 8.04 seconds, and she won the 200 at 25.81.

Campbell, Sickafoose and Camara also teamed up with Ashley Stoltzfus to claim the 4×400 title at 3:59.16.
For the totality of her performances, Campbell was named the NCCAA Outstanding Track Athlete of the Meet.
The Lancers have one indoor meet remaining. Grace will send a record 16 student-athletes to the 2020 NAIA National Championships in Brookings, S.D., starting March 5.
