Calvin Austin selected as a Best of the Preps Track & Field Finalist.
It was a spring to remember for Austin, the only repeat finalist from 2015. After sweeping all three of the sprints at the Division 2 regional meet, he repeated at state, taking first in the 100 (10.8), 200 (21.73) and 400 (49.63). With one year remaining, Austin can add to his total of four state championships.
Jake Criswell selected as a Best of the Preps Baseball Finalist.
Criswell will head to SEMO after a record–setting career at Harding that saw him graduate as the school’s all–time leader in wins (26), innings (254) and strikeouts (314). He went 8–3 with a 1.44 ERA and also batted .432 with five homers and school records of 54 hits and 55 RBI as Harding finished as state runner–up in D2–A.
