Cardinals Track & Field team hosted a last chance meet at the Thunder Sports Complex, on Friday. This mini meet included all four throws events, high jump and pole vault. Several invididuals from WHAC member institutions joined the Cardinals in Ann Arbor looking for one last chance to meet NAIA or NCCAA qualifying marks. Despite a weather delay, the majority of participants were able to compete.  

 

The four Cardinals who competed in the meet each took home a new personal best. Hayle Flowers (Waverly, MI) not only bested herself by almost 3 meters in the javelin throw, but threw a toss of 28.52m which punched her ticket to the National Christian College Athletic Association national meet. With diligient practice sessions and continued improvement at competitions througout the indoor and outdoor seasons, Flowers has put herself in a position for personal bests week after week. 

 

Cardinals Track & Field returns to action May 12-14, 2021 at the National Christian College Athletic Association national meet in Greenville, IL.  A complete list of Cardinal qualifiers and detailed championship event information will be available soon.
