Summary

Biography

The Broncos* third-leading point scorer last season, Shayna Sangster was voted co-captain of the Broncos during both her sophomore and junior seasons, a rare accomplishment which speaks volumes about her leadership qualities. A top scoring sprinter during her first two seasons for the Brown & Gold, Sangster experimented with a new event during her junior season, the hurdles, and the experiment was a rousing success. Along with setting a new school record in the 200m indoors (her old event), she also had the Broncos* top time in the 100m hurdles (14.08) and 400m hurdles (59.10), her new events. And one event Sangster is always involved in is the 4x400. Sangster turned in a scintillaing split of 52.9 as she anchored the WMU foursome to an all-time MAC record of 3:34.78. Sangster also qualified for the 2006 NCAA Championships individually in the 400 hurdles and she finished in the top 20 nationally in her first appearance in the *Big Dance.* Sangster is a staple on WMU relays and owns school records on the 4x100, 4x400 and shuttle hurdle relays.
