GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Providence indoor track and field program had two athletes compete at the NAIA National Championships throughout the weekend.  
 
The highlight for the Argos was sophomore Lauren Cima who earned All-American status with a third-place finish in the shot put.
 
Cima set a new program record for the fourth time this season with a throw of 15.15m and became the first women's indoor track & field All-American and first men or women athlete to earn All-American status in a field event at the indoor championships in program history.
 
Head Track & Field Coach Alan Cress on Cima's performance stated, "Lauren has focused and trained on reaching the 15-meter barrier all Fall and indoor season. Today's record breaking, All-American performance was fueled by that desire to be the best and reach the goals we set back in September. She has dedicated herself to one day being a National Champion and today was another step in that direction! "
 
Senior Josh Golemon also competed at the NAIA Indoor Track and Field National Championships, placing 30th in the weight throw.
