The Hillsdale College men's track and field team had action in two places this weekend, sending athletes to both the Jud Logan Lightgiver Invitational hosted by Ashland and the Mike Lints Alumni Meet hosted by Grand Valley State University.
Hillsdale's biggest performances came from the program's two nationally ranked stalwarts. Junior
Ben Haas competed at both Ashland and GVSU, winning the elite weight throw competition with a mark of 20.58 meters at the Jud Logan Lightgiver Invite, then coming back on Saturday to place third in the elite weight throw competition at the Mike Lints Alumni Meet with a throw of 19.69 meters and take sixth in the elite shot put competition with a mark of 16.78 meters.Â
Senior
Cass Dobrowolski was in action as well in the high jump at GVSU on Saturday, placing second with a clearance of 2.05 meters. Both Haas and Dobrowolski set provisional qualifying marks in every event they competed in this weekend, though none of their marks exceeded their previous season bests.Â
Hillsdale has another big weekend on tap coming up next, as the Chargers will split squads, sending a contingent to the always-loaded GVSU Big Meet on Friday and Saturday, while also sending athletes to compete at the Tiffin Open this coming Saturday.
