The goal going into the night was to see how the Central Michigan men’s and women’s track and field teams could compete after an onerous week in practice. Both CMU teams responded with impressive performances finishing first out of five teams at the Chippewa Invitational. Detroit Mercy, Oakland University, Macomb Community College and Aquinas were also at the event. “The focus was not so much on the performances as much as it was the mentality to compete in spite of your body not being completely where you want it to be at this time of the year,” said Willie Randolph, the director of track and field.” The Chippewas won with a score of 187 points. Detroit Mercy finished a distant second with 107 points. The men’s team won 217.666 points over second-place Detroit Mercy which earned 84. “It’s always going to be a confidence booster when you can see that even when you aren’t feeling fresh, you can still compete at a high level and win,” Randolph said. CMU women’s team also won easily, by a margin of 80 with a score of 187. Two Chippewas dominated the men’s weight throw taking the top two scores. Senior Kevin Mays had a score of 19.1 meters and sophomore Calvin Jackson finished second. “He was a monster out there,” Oakland senior Anthony Gallegos said about Mays. CMU senior Kevin Bacon finished first in men’s long jump and triple jump finishing at 6.88 meters and 13.24 meters respectively. He wasn’t content with the first-place finishes though. “It was a win, but I’m not exactly happy with the marks yet,” Bacon said. “I’m not satisfied, but it was a good start.” Bacon hopes this year the team can pull it all together and succeed. “I came here to win and be part of a winning team,” he said. “And we are doing it this year. We’re trying to win an outdoor and indoor MAC (championship), we’re trying to go to nationals. We’re trying to be a team that wins, not just a bunch of individuals.” Fellow CMU senior Kirlene Roberts won the women’s 60 meter dash and also finished fifth in the 200 meter dash. “I was happy with how I performed,” Roberts said. “I have to work on my finishes but it was good. I’m at a good place as far as training and form-wise.” Roberts believes the team chemistry early in the season is at a healthy level. “Our chemistry is great,” Roberts said. “We strive to be a drama free team. We strive to be united with another. No matter who you are or where you are from, we are a team.” Three Chippewas finished in the top three for men’s pole vault, sophomore Tim Reynolds notched the top spot. Sophomore Megan Heffner and senior Misha Lamphere tied for first in women’s high jump with scores of 1.58 meters.
