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. Our women's throws group continues to perform at a high level and we had some all time top performances so we are heading in the right direction." - Head Coach Josh Colvin
THE ROAD AHEAD
- The Cougars return to action next Friday and Saturday at Grand Valley State University.
