The Team & Track
With a slow start to the year and missing several important athletes due to injuries, expectations for the Fresno State track and field team this season are high. The ’Dogs met those expectations over the weekend at the Mountain West indoor championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after earning first place titles in three events.
Senior Annemarie Schwanz captured the fastest mile with a time of 4 minutes, 48.49 seconds, becoming the first Bulldog in school history to earn first place in that event. Sophomore Tiffany Gilmore was crowned as the weight throw champion with a mark of 20.
