Capital University

Lizzy Stanton, a 2009 Cap graduate, blistered the track over her tenure as a member of the women's track and field program. During her illustrious career, Stanton stood on the podium at the National Championships four times, earning All-American honors each time. In all, she qualified for the National stage six times. Stanton still has her name next to two school records in both of her marquee events -- the long jump and the 4x100 meter relay. In 2008, she set the long jump record with a leap of 18 feet and 9.25 inches. As a senior in 2009, she made history yet again with her 4x100 meter relay by clocking a time of 46.97 seconds at the National Championships. The time helped the team to a third place finish in the nation. Stanton teamed up with Brittany Carter, Kwesi Seabrook, and Jessica Starks to set the record. 

Stanton, a native of Cincinnati, now plies her trade with the Columbus Division of Fire as a Firefighter EMT/EMD and Hazmat Tech. In addition to firefighting, Stanton resides in the Columbus area with her two fur babies Ramsey and Kidd. Lizzy credits Capital for helping provide her an intimate learning experience while also allowing her to experience the big campus life while being in the heart of Columbus.
