CLINTON, Miss. --- Spring sports seniors across the nation had their collegiate careers cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A time-honored tradition across all athletic departments is to celebrate "Senior Day" by recognizing each of the members of their senior class for their efforts while a part of their program.
At Mississippi College, we wanted to let each one of our spring sports student-athletes have their own "Senior Day" to thank them for their time as Choctaws and Lady Choctaws. Their contributions to their teams and the athletic department will always be remembered.
DAYJAH JACKSON --- TRACK & FIELD
A native of Jackson, Miss.,
Dayjah Jackson didn't have to travel far to find where she wanted to continue her collegiate career after competing two seasons at Hinds Community College.
"Always smiling and always successful," said head coach
Matthew Reneker. "We are so thankful to have Miss. Jackson on our squad and to demonstrate the type of work it takes to be successful and the type of attitude to enjoy the grind that is collegiate athletics."
Jackson competed in three events for Mississippi College during her collegiate career. She recorded a collegiate best in the final meet of the season in the 100 meters and notched collegiate bests in the 60 meters and 200 meters at the Birmingham Southern Indoor Icebreaker.
The psychology major with a minor in coaching is the daughter of Lakeisha Lockhart.
Every day for the next five weeks, we will recognize a senior for their contributions on and off the field for their respective programs. The baseball, softball, golf, tennis and track & field programs will all be represented in alphabetical order, regardless of sport.
