As the indoor track season is beginning to move as quickly as a locomotive, the men’s and women’s distance squads will be tasked with being assets to the team during the remaining stretch.
“Everybody is at a different place coming out of cross country and going into the track season, however, we are ready to compete,” senior mid-distance runner Grace Dargiewicz said.
In track and field, the makeup of a team — sprinters, jumpers, throwers and long distance runners — mainly comes from the team’s cross countryteam from the fall.
With three meets already under their belt in South Bend, Indiana, Chicago and Kenosha, Wisconsin, Dargiewicz said those on the distance squad embrace the simplicity of the transition from outdoors into indoors.
