ZipsVoice Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) 2017 looks bright for the men and women runners, jumpers and throwers. Both teams smash Kent State in annual dual meet while the basketball team was beating Eastern Michigan. Score would have been worse if the scoring sustem wasn't skewed, only 2 scores per each team per event. 10 firsts by the men's team, 9 firsts for women's team. Terrell McClain breaks school record in long jump. Both men and women strong as usual in pole vault. Ariadna Rams Gandia a beast in women long jump and triple jump. Still need some good weight throwers,both guys and gals. Two sophomore men high jumpers that are the two best in the MAC by far. A few off-shore recruits this year. Need a replacement for Clayton Murphy mid-distance, but Jackie Seifring a multi-wonner and will be the multi champ indoor and out. Big meet on February 2 and 3 - Akron Invitational, lots of top notch competition. Great place to watch track too. Edited January 23, 2017 by ZipsVoice Mispells 3 Quote
ZipsVoice Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Posted February 5, 2017 More Track and field....since men and women B-ball were on the road, went to the Akron Invitational, and although it was probably the weakest field in years (SPIRE in Geneva OH has a DI invite the following week that has diluted Akron's draw) it was still fun. Clayton Murphy introduced before the meet, and world record holder woman pole vaulter was there. Terrell McClain was banged up and didn't compete, but Jordan Latimore took the Long Jump with an equally solid jump. Natalie Zidd won 800 for second straight year, and Daziah Green impressed with double wins in 60 and 200 dashes. Coach Mitchell has his female Shawn Barber now, Lucy Bryan, a freshman from England, who is a physical specimen, and that's not a sexial comment. Men and women still need distance runners though. Anyway, thought I'd share.... 1 Quote
UAZippers Posted February 26, 2017 Report Posted February 26, 2017 I'll put this here, even though it covers multiple teams. Pretty great day to be a Zip! 3 Quote
