Varsity/Alumni 5k
We would first off like to thank all of the alumni/friends for coming out tonight to show your support of this years team. It was a great run and it was a great experience for the team to connect with the alumni and share their knowledge. The Individual winner was Nick Hird and the Varsity won the team scoring 25-36. Thanks again to all who came to show their support!
We have a new interview up with soon to be Hall of Fame inductee Tony Bleull! It's a great read that you will surely get a lot out of! NEW UPDATE! An interview with team captain Chance Kelch has just been put up and is a great read.
Chicago Duals and Pictures
The North Central College Men's Track and Field team won the Chicago Duals and had many great performances and numerous personal bests! (Results here) Also, I put up pictures from the Carthage Private College Invitational. Enjoy! (Pictures here)
CCIW Champions!
For all 8 times that the CCIW has sponsored an indoor track and field championship, the North Central College Men's Track and Field team has won all of them! This year was no different then the previous years as the cardinals handily defeated Augustana to win the meet 220-140.5! The Cardinals won 5 different events ( 5k, pole vault, triple jump, shot put, and weight throw ) and added 4 provisional qualifiers ( 5k - John Lancaster, Mike Spain, and Kyle Brady and in the 400 - Adam Pennington ) to cap off a fantastic day! To add to the day the North Central Men's Track and Field coaching staff was named Coaching Staff of the Year! Congrats cardinals! ( Results )
First Chance Meet and Chicagolands
The North Central Cardinals kicked off the outdoor season with a bang as they won their own First Chance meet over UW-Steven's Point by a score of 255.5 to 146 for UW-SP. It was a great way to start off the outdoor season. (Results) The Chicagoland Championships will be held this Friday and Saturday at North Central College. The time schedule will be posted in the next couple of days.
Chicagoland Championships
The North Central Men's Track and Field team had a great weekend in winning the Chicagoland Championships at home. They won the meet 158.5-126 over Lewis University. These performances included 3 different National Qualifiers. Jake Winder qualified automatically in the pole vault, and Mike Bina and Adam Pennington qualified provisionally in the pole vault and 400 respectively. It was a great meet all-around. The Cardinals compete next in the Wheaton Invitational on April 11th-12th. (Results)
Wheaton Meets and new interview?
The North Central Men's track and field team had a great last couple weeks competing at the Wheaton Invitational and the Wheaton Twilight meet. Some of the highlights included an auto qualifier in the pole vault in Mike Bina, a provisional qualifier in the 4 x 400, and an improvement on his 400 provisional qualifier by Adam Pennington. Also in the next week or so, I will be conducting an interview of pole vaulter Mike Bina. Look for updates soon .
The North Central Cardinals competed with all their heart this weekend at the conference meet at North Park. Now while the final outcome wasn't always what everybody wanted or hoped for, the cardinals learned a valuable lesson along the way. They learned that it's not winning or losing that's important, what's important is trying your best. We learned that the important thing isn't always in the outcome, but what was learned from the process. The Cardinals fought hard, fought with their heart, and competed as a team. Results
Dr. Keeler "First" Last Chance Meet
The North Central Men's Track and Field team competed great at their own last chance meets. There were many great performances including provisional qualifying marks from the 4x1 relay of Mike Bina, Greg Jackson, Jamail Mays, and Adam Pennington and Adam Pennington improving his mark in the 400. Also look for the interview of Mike Bina to be up in the next few days. Results
Gregory, Nationals and New Interview!
The NCC Cardinals had a very successful "last" Last Chance meet at home with 4 provisional qualifiers in the 5k (Mike Spain, Brian Lesiewicz, Natediz Hird, and Kyle Brady), 1 in the triple jump (Justin McQuality), and an auto qualifier in the 4x4 (Jon Howard, Adam Pennington, Adam Johnson, and Greg Jackson.) The Cardinals will be represented at Nationals in Oshkosh, Wisconsin this weekend by the 4x4 (listed previously), Jake Winder and Mike Bina in the Pole Vault, Marc Holt in the shot put, and Adam Pennington in the 400. Also a new interview of Mike Bina has been put up! Sorry for the delay! Results from Gregory Meet
Nationals, Interview, and NCC Cribs!!
North Central competed hard at Nationals and came back to Naperville with some All-American certificates to prove it. The 4x4 of Jon Howard, Adam Pennington, Adam Johnson, and Greg Jackson placed 4th, Adam Pennington placed 8th in the 400, and Mike Bina capped off a fine career with a 4th place finish in the pole vault. Coming up in the next few weeks will be an interview of Senior leader John "Lanny" Lancaster, along with a NCC Cribs edition of summer housing in Naper Place!
