Wingate University Athletics

Christina Matheny had an NCAA qualifying height of 1.72 meters in the women’s high jump, winning the event at the inaugural Wingate Invitational Friday. The leap is a new outdoor personal record (PR) for Matheny, who completed the indoor season as a second team All-American in the same event. The Wingate Invitational leap places Matheny third on the NCAA Division II high jump charts. Matheny finished third in the women’s long jump at the Wingate Invitational event.

“I’m very proud of Christina and excited for the things headed her way the rest of this season,” Wingate assistant track and field coach Travis LeFlore says. “She’s been training very well this season and it’s starting to show on the track.”
