Track teams combine for ninth at GVSU
The track team competed at the Al Owens Classic hosted by Grand Valley State University on Friday and Saturday. The meet, split between Friday and Saturday, had the men finishing in sixth place, the women finishing ninth and the overall team also finishing ninth.
Jordan Walters led the way with a seventh-place finish in the 400-meter dash. For the 1,500-meter run, Rob Roest and Ryan Silvestri took 10th and eleventh place. The top Cardinal performer, however, was Codey Cook. He took home gold in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.
Jacob Kulhanek took eighth in pole vault. Ben Morrow also had a strong ninth-place finish in discus, with a throw of 47.74 meters. With many of the Cardinals’ athletes resting, the finish showcased their younger group.
The women saw Domonique Smith pulling seventh place in the 100-meter dash and 15th in the 200-meter dash. Lauren Huebner finished 11th 800-meter run. Dominique Adams also performed well in the tough 1,500-meter run.
Again, with the lack of top performers, the ladies held their own. Bria Williams took seventh place in the 100-meter hurdles while Lina Davis finished 12th in the 400-meter hurdles. Christiana Micale managed a fourth-place finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.
