GSU INAUGURAL INDOOR TRACK SEASON OPENS JANUARY 26 AT OLIVET NAZARENE MEET

Governors State University Head Men's and Women's Indoor Track Coach John Niendorf is looking forward to the first season of indoor-outdoor track.

"This season of Track will primarily feature distance runners from the cross-country team. There will be some sprinters joining us for some longer sprint events like the 400meter dash. Most of our runners will be competing in the 400, 800, 1 mile, 3k, and 5k for indoor track. All the runners from men's and women's cross country will be competing in track this season."
 
"The CCAC conference has consistently produced multiple All-Americans throughout its history and will continue to be a very competitive conference. Olivet Nazarene University has been the top team in the conference over the recent years." 
 
COACH NIENDORF ON BUILDING THE GSU TRACK PROGRAM:
 
"The timetable right now for the program is for the first year to just have mainly distance runners and then gradually add sprinters, jumpers, and throwers over the coming years. The first year it will be tough to be competitive scoring in meets since we will be leaving lots of points on the board, not having the majority of events, but as the years progress, we want to build this program into a powerhouse."
 
For this season we will be doing many of our workouts of Rich Townships indoor and outdoor track. Our runners have been training all winter after their short break from the cross country season," Coach Niendorf said.
