The Bowling Green track team was put on hold last weekend when the meet was cancelled.
The team had plans to compete in the Red Simmons Invite, but weather cancelled the event.
“The weather was a major decision for us not playing this weekend,” BG head coach Scott Sehmann said. “I made the decision around 5:45 a.m. to not go.”
Instead, the team had an intra-squad meet at the Perry Field house. The team wanted to compete and find their strengths and weaknesses, so the scrimmage was a successful practice.
“Thus we had an intra-squad meet which turned out all right for most of our team members as they were relaxed and performed rather well,” Sehmann said.
Sehmann also was pleased with some of the performances of the runners.
“I would say our milers ran real well and that is because we have a fair amount of depth in that area,” he said. “Thus, they were able to push each other extremely hard. Times were their bests of the season thus far.”
The Falcons are more than ready to face one of the biggest events of the year this Friday, the BGSU quintangular.
“This week is an extremely busy week with our home quintangular meet on Friday and we play host to an open format meet here Saturday,” Sehmann said.
It is a busy weekend for the team and the expectations of the team are high. This Friday the meet begins at 5:00 p.m. at the Perry Field house.
The Falcons are hosting Toledo, Youngstown State and Cincinnati. Any event in the BG sports department that matches them up against Toledo brings very good competition and excitement because of the Battle of I-75.
For BG, this event is all about improving.
“Presently we are still looking to bring along more individuals to add depth to our scoring ranks already in place,” Sehmann said. “With continued hard work and the development of confidence, we should and plan on being improved for the conference meet in the end of February,” Sehmann said.
This weekend is a big weekend for the track team.
They will face good competition, and this team is in need for some good results. Sehmann is confident that the Falcons will compete this weekend, he is just hoping for some dominating results.
“We will be looking to improve on our marks from two weeks ago,” Sehmann said.
