MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – The weather gets better, the meets get bigger, the competition gets stiffer.
Central Michigan will compete this weekend in the 31st Jesse Owens Track & Field Classic at Ohio State’s Jesse Owens Memorial Track.
Three Chippewa distance runners, Kelly Schubert, Kirsten Olling and Nate Ghena, will run this weekend at the Virgina Challenge at the University of Virginia. All three will run in the 10,000 meters.
“At 10K, you only get one or two chances the whole season to get a mark to get you to the first round (of the NCAA),” CMU director of track and field Mark Guthrie said.
