FRISCO – Ten Texas A&M University-Commerce track and field student-athletes were named to the all-Southland Conference teams on Tuesday afternoon for the outdoor season, which included the Lions' four conference champions.
 
Ibrahim Fuseini (Accra, Ghana) led the way with three first team honors as well as one second team honor. He won the 100 meter dash, 200 meter dash, and teamed up with Enoch Fosuhene (Accra, Ghana), Philip Krenek (Kostelní Strimelice, Czech Republic), and Oguz Uyar (Turkey) to win the 4x400 meter relay crown.
 
Jenneil Jacobie (Piat Gros Islet, Saint Lucia) brought home first team all-conference honors in the women's high jump.
 
Second team honorees for the Lions were Nicholas Deutsch (Frisco) in the men's 3,000 meter steeplechase, Justine Jimoh (Benin, Nigeria) in the men's high jump, and the 4x100 meter relay squad of Fosuhene, Uyar, Fuseini, and Tyke Owens (Lebanon Trail).
 
Both third team honorees for the Lions came on the women's side: Veronika Kramarenko (Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine) in the high jump and Cassandra Rendon (San Antonio – Madison) in the discus.
 
The Lion men finished fourth at the conference championships, while the women finished seventh.
