With two weeks until the Mid-American Conference Championship meet, the Big Meet at Grand Valley State was the second-to-last chance for Central Michigan track and field members to automatically qualify.
Three athletes qualified for the MAC Championship at this meet. Senior Nate Ghena and sophomore Kirsten Olling both qualified in the 3000-meter run and junior Silas DeKalita qualified in the 5000-meter run.
“We got some things accomplished,” said Head Coach Mark Guthrie. “ But you’re always looking for more, you’re never really satisfied.”
Olling and Ghena, along with the other athletes on the team that have hit the MAC qualifying standards for their events, will not participate in next week’s meet — also held at GVSU.
