Grace Appears in Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd

Tiffin men's track & field standout Toryko Grace's performances this season have been noticed on the national stage, as Sports Illustrated has included the senior in the Faces in the Crowd section of their February 25 issue.

A three-time NCAA Championships qualifier and 2017 Indoor All-American in the weight throw, Grace took first in the event at four-straight meets this season between Jan. 19 and Feb. 9. He has also taken the top spot in five of the eight competitions he has participated in during the indoor season, and never finished below sixth.

At the 2019 GMAC Indoor Championships held last weekend, Grace finished second with a throw of 20.38 meters. It was his throw of 20.67 meters from earlier this year at the Hillsdale Wide-Track Classic, though, that has the senior ranked fifth in the nation heading into the 2019 DII Indoor National Championships in Pittsburg, Ks. on March 8-9.

As one of 12 Dragons to qualify for nationals on the men's side, Grace will be looking for his second All-America honor and hopes to help Tiffin to their third DII Indoor title in the last four years.
