INSIDE THE HUDDLE

• "Steven Case broke the 3k Steeplechase school record as he is still learning how to race the event. Isaiah Kanable and Bryce Stateler are also first year steeplechasers and have left their marks on the all time list. Evan Gaylor continues to improve in the shot put and Jacob Sayger had a nice pr in the javelin throw. Gabe Wedmore finished second in the hammer throw despite not throwing the distance he wanted. Darrius Megnin is healthy and is continuing to improve." - Head Coach Josh Colvin

THE ROAD AHEAD 

• The Cougars return to action this weekend with meets scheduled at Ball State and Grand Valley State.
