After a nice winter break, the women of BG track are set to resume regular practice this week in preparation for a full slate of spring semester competition.
The Falcons had a sparse, yet successful, December schedule, with five members of the team earning a selection to the Oiler Open, held December 6 at the University of Findlay. Highlighting the Falcon quintet were TaKarra Dunning and Whitney Hartman, who took top honors in the shot put and weight throw respectively.
Six days later, before breaking for finals week, the Falcons held their annual Orange and Brown intra-squad meet with Shantell Lewis keying the Brown team’s 168-156 defeat of the Orange.
Despite the four-week layoff, third-year coach Cami Wells is confident the success enjoyed by her athletes in December will portend greater things to come for the remainder of the schedule.
“I am pleased with the results thus far and with the preparation everyone has put in,” said Wells. “Over break, each group had their own training schedules that they stuck to, so I am not worried about anyone coming back and not being ready to go.”
The Falcons will resume competition this Saturday at 11 a.m. with The BGSU Challenge.
“As we move into the spring, we will be looking to use each week to continually improve each individual athlete,” Wells said. “That is our main goal.”
