COACHES COMMENT: ""We competed a small portion of the squad today at the Trine Mrs. G Invite. It was a great opportunity for some of our younger athletes to get some experience at the MIAA indoor track and field conference championship site. We had some stand out performances today. John White topped a large field in the men's long jumps. This was a great tune up meet as we are looking forward to next weekend as we keep ramping up to indoor conference. Next weekend will be the biggest of the indoor season so far and we should be going in well rested and with a ton of confidence!"

NEXT UP: Calvin will compete at the GVSU Big Meet in Allendale as well as the MIAA/WHAC Challenge at Aquinas College.
