At last year’s Christmas Invitational, senior Chantelle Grey won the 600m run in her first meet as a Lady Gov with a blistering 1:34.76 mark. Grey, who went on to represent the Lady Govs in the NCAA East Preliminary Round of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, begins her final season with Austin Peay after transferring from Montana.

In addition to Foster, five other student-athletes will make their track and field debuts for Austin Peay Saturday: Hannah Johnstono (pole vault), Breigh Jones (sprints), Lamontra Robinson (sprints), Kymmalett Ross (sprints) and Antonia Stevenson (sprints).
