THE RUNDOWN

INSIDE THE HUDDLE
  • "We are gearing up for our conference meet in a few weeks. We have one last shot at putting down some times and marks at GVSU this next weekend. With our new conference rule that we have to have a mark or a time to enter athletes into events at the conference meet, we are making sure we are checking off boxes but also allowing athletes to shine in their events. We had a freshman record, a school record, and a B Standard this past weekend so I would say overall a very successful weekend for our men's team." - Head Coach Josh Colvin

THE ROAD AHEAD 
  • The Cougars return to action next Friday and Saturday at Grand Valley State University.
