BEREA, Ky. -- S.K. Lipperd won twice, Seth Bergeron also took an event win, and the Covenant track and field teams wrapped up the USA South Championships with strong showings on Thursday at Berea.

The senior then capped the day as part of the 4x400 relay team that took second. The quartet of Lipperd, Elysse Carrillo, Daehla Smith, and Anna Baker finished in a season-best time of 4:15.30. Lipperd's three All-USA South honors gave her six in her career on the track.
