Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University (APSU) track and field team heads to the Bluegrass State for the PNC Lenny Lyles Invitational, Friday-Saturday, at the Norton Healthcare Sport and Learning Center in Louisville, Kentucky.
The reigning ASUN Women’s Track Athlete of the Week, senior Kenisha Phillips led Austin Peay State University with a pair of victories at the Vanderbilt Invitational last week.
Phillips’ first win came in the 200-meter dash when the Georgetown, Guyana native posted the second-fasted time in program history at 23.81 seconds. She then followed it with a 54.01-second 400-meter dash which was among the NCAA’s top 20 times in the event at the time and was the fasted by an ASUN student-athlete since 2019.
Amani Sharif also continued the strong start to her freshman campaign, earning a fifth-place finish in the long jump and 12th in the 60-meter hurdles.
This week’s meet is the first time Austin Peay State University has competed in Louisville’s event since 2009 and is the penultimate meet of the Governors 2023 indoor regular season.
