University raises research costs Policy marks transition in animal research, puts responsibility on researchers for funds

By Grant Lefaive Staff Reporter

The cost of animal research will be partially shifted to faculty under a new per diem policy. At the start of the next fiscal year, faculty will be charged 16 cents daily per cage in the university’s vivariums, which are habitats for the animals used for research.

Ian Davison, interim vice president for research, said the policy is a sign of progress in research at Central Michigan University. The funds generated by per diems will be used to expand vivarium lab space to alleviate issues with overcrowding in the labs.

“I think the opportunities for research with students will increase,” he said. “We have a commitment as an institution to make sure faculty work and research is connected to the undergraduate experience. By supporting faculty research, we are increasing the educational opportunities for students, who can then work with somebody who is doing work at the forefront of science. That is an invaluable experience.”

One cage consists of two rats or four mice, and the total cost of maintaining each cage is $1 per day under the current policy. The Health Professions Vivarium has 400 cages of mice

Research Q&A Animal research is conducted at Central Michigan University for a wide variety of reasons. Read about one graduate students work on 2B. and 250 cages of rats in enclosed areas designated for keeping and raising animals for research.

Before the new policy, the university covered the full cost of every animal in every cage. However, faculty are now expected to allocate funds from their research grants and other revenues to maintain animals they use for research. This cost will rise in the next fiscal year, doubling to 32 cents per day in July and 48 cents in 2016.

The vivarium operates with a yearly budget between $192,000 and $222,000. Per diems generate $20,000 to $30,000 but this will increase as the rate climbs, with the goal of generating $60,000 to $70,000 in the 2017 fiscal year.

Neuroscience Program Director Gary Dunbar said he disagrees.

Undergraduate programs, which are a staple in CMU’s pedagogy, may be harmed by the additional costs of research, he said.

“If you make the price tag high

enough, only those with external funding can afford to do the research and those lacking funding but who want to offer undergraduates with research opportunities will no longer be able to do so,” Dunbar said. “Most other universities with high per diems have a dismal track record for involving undergraduate students in this type of research relative to what we have provided our students at CMU.” The neuroscience program won the Undergraduate Neuroscience Program of the Year in 2013. Gradu-

ates and undergraduates often work together with faculty in the labs.

“I started in the lab my freshman year. I began by shadowing and learning, and I got my own project last year,” said Holland senior Sabrina Parker.

Per diems mark an expansion of CMU’s animal research, but the cost to faculty will drastically increase.

“We are at a very transitional period for the university,” said said neuroscience faculty Yannick Marchalant. “The w research | 2A

New Venture Competition awards $75,000 to student startups

By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter

Mount Pleasant junior Samantha Pina and her brother Joseph Pina, a senior, watched their competitors in the New Venture Competition cross the stage to be given one large check after another.

After not passing the second round, they weren’t confident they would be given one of the eight awards.

Suddenly, the name of their business, Revolve Replication, echoed over the loudspeaker. The siblings shot each other a look of disbelief before heading toward the small stage to accept their $10,000 award for the Most Impact on Michigan.

“It took me a second to register they said Revolve Replication and I think we both didn’t believe it at first,” Samantha said. “It’s more (a feeling of ) shock and excitement.

It’s a little bit of everything thrown into one.”

The goal of the New Venture Competition is to help students launch start-up businesses in Michigan. The competition is coordinated by the College of Business Administration and the Isabella Bank Institute for Entrepreneurship.

Graduate student shares experiences testing hangover effects on rodents

By Jacob Kahn Staff Reporter

Researchers at Central Michigan University use rodents and other animals to find solutions to behavioral and medical issues found in humans.

Behavioral analyst Eric French found his niche at labs in CMU in his early twenties. Central Michigan Life sat down with the Oblong, Ill. graduate student to talk about his research on rats and pigeons in a CMU operant lab.

How do you feel about animal testing? Are you okay with the ethical implications?

FRENCH: To a degree. I would not let just anybody work with my rats. We have

to maintain a high standard; one because we don’t want any protests, and two because healthy, well taken care of rats give the best data. If I ever saw anybody mistreating my rats they wouldn’t be working in a lab again. I’m not okay with just anybody doing it, it has to be done with care. But if it is done with care, then yes, I think it’s perfectly ethical.

What is the project you are working on right now?

We’re looking at the presence and severity of hangovers in young rats as compared to old rats. How we tell that is we give them a bottle of alcohol for about 30 minutes a day, and record how much they drink.

Of course if you’re hun-

gover the next day, alcohol is probably not the thing you want. If they drank a lot yesterday and didn’t drink a lot today, we infer that is the hangover effect. We don’t think we’ll see that in young rats, but in old rats we expect to.

What are you trying to learn from your study?

The theory goes that if alcoholism starts when you’re young, it may be because you don’t experience these hangovers. We just don’t think young rats and young humans have neural pathways that respond to hangovers.

So students have worse hangovers to look forward to?

That’s the other thing, if you drink a lot as a young

and coordination with the use of rodents. CMU does not publish locations of the vivaria around campus due to security concerns. Davison said the risk of activist interference with research or harm to the facilities is real. The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee regulates university animal testing and ensures that animals are not unethically or frivolously tested.

All tests are monitored from outside the testing room via monitor.

Principle investigators use tools like Skinner Boxes, behavioral conditioning containers that reinforce specific behaviors with treats, Over time, the behavior will start at something simple, but becomes more complex in order to receive positive reinforcement.

The first day, a mouse will have to click the lever twice, but by the 10th day they will have to push it 312 times to receive the reinforcement.

are placed in a tub filled with water and must navigate toward a platform to avoid fatigue. After several trials, the platform is used and the rodent must use visual cues to relocate it. Animals with Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s or other impairments will have difficulty with this task.

The cylinder test, which involves supervising a rodent treading water in a small container, is a test of anxiety.

Rodents are strong swimmers, Marchalant said, so researchers know they have an impairment if the rats panic.

Dunbar said neuroscience’s ability to provide research opportunities to undergraduates in an economically feasible way over the past decade is what has made it a nationally recognized program.

“To suggest that adding per diems will provide more opportunities for undergraduate research is, in my opinion and those of many of my colleagues, contrary to what is happening elsewhere,” Dunbar said.

I took a general interest, but I didn’t want to be a counselor, so I didn’t see it going anywhere. I plan to work in academia and continue my research. I’ve been a teacher’s assistant and I’ve taught before, but mainly I enjoy the research. I’d like to stay with rats and pigeons.

Judges based their decisions on students working beyond just thinking of the idea, said Executive Director for the Isabella Bank Institute for Entrepreneurship Debra Zellner.

Flags at half mast for Michigan Marines State buildings across Michigan, including the Capitol, will lower their flags to half-mast Monday at the order of Governor Rick Snyder, honoring three Michigan Marines who died during a training exercise in Florida.

Trevor Blaylock, of Lake Orion, Andrew Seif, of Holland and Marcus Bawol, of Warren were three of 11 men who died on the March 10 when a Black Hawk helicopter plunged into the ocean just off the Florida Panhandle.

The lowering of flags for servicemen killed in training, rather than combat, is relatively unprecedented in Michigan. As they stand, current flag protocols state that flags are to be displayed at half-mast to honor, “members of our Armed Forced killed in the line of duty.”

Seif was awarded the Silver Star Medal less than a week prior to the crash, and was named Marine of the Year in 2013. The other casualties of the crash include four additional Marines and four Louisiana National Guard soldiers.

Chipping in Service learning pairs student experience with community need

Minimum wage increase leaves few extra expenditures

By Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter

From providing access to healthcare in Belize to developing a social media presence for a rotating homeless shelter, students impact communities across the world.

According to Central Michigan University ServiceLearning Coordinator Travus Burton, academic servicelearning projects begin with genuine community need.

Projects are completed within the context of a course, meaning service meets community need and class objectives.

“Wherever there’s a need, there’s a potential for service to be provided,” Burton said. “We don’t want to take work from professionals and we don’t want to put students in the position where they’re not really serving a need either. Finding the right fit can be a fine line.”

Burton said he wants to ensure students serve a genuine need to truly assist the community they work in.

Students apply their course experience in service. Interior design and art education students worked to renovate a library, a social media class provided social media services to a rotating homeless shelter and a human resources class trained volunteers and public relations students created promotional plans.

“The best (projects) are community development projects: things that may not be there yet or may be new developments to the community,” Burton said. “No one else is doing this. Your service is absolutely needed.”

When developing projects, Burton either talks to faculty members about what they want to do and finds a community partner or talks to a community partner and finds a faculty member who could teach a course to help meet their need.

Faculty members can apply for the service-learning SL course designator, though many courses without this designator have service-learning components.

Projects teach students about more than just their field of study, Burton said. Collaboration through service-learning is powerful, because people have different skills which can address the complexities of an issue in different ways.

“If you really think about it in the larger scope, there are not many societal problems or issues that are solved by one discipline,” Burton said. “The world doesn’t really work in terms of one discipline; that’s just a neat way we’ve been able to categorize knowledge for our own benefit. It doesn’t reflect the needs in the world that need to be addressed.”

He said service-learning allows

With the recent increases in minimum wage, the Central Michigan University Recreation Department has restricted expenses to remain within its budget.

“Having a department where you have to pay 300 employees has way more of an impact (when wages are increased) than other departments with say two to three employees.” said Jeff Calhoun, director of marketing and business for UREC. Each division of UREC operates under its own budget. This year the Student Activity Center has a budget of $1.87 million, the Events Center has $204,000 and the Events and Conferences Department receives $756,000.

“The budget this year is slightly higher than previous years due to compensation and benefits for staff,” said Stan Shingles, assistant vice president of UREC. “After covering staff salaries, along with things like supplies for offices, facilities, custodial and maintenance costs, there isn’t a lot of leg room.”

Minimum wage increased from $7.40 per hour in 2013 to $8.15 per hour in 2014-15. UREC pays $875,000 to professional staff and $250,000 is given to student staff annually. While minimum wage has increased, the department’s budget hasn’t increased to compensate the statewide change.

In Michigan, minimum wage is scheduled to increase every January over the next four years.

According to the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, Minimum wage will be $8.50 in 2015, $8.85 in 2016 and $9.20 in 2017.

Although the increase in wages has left little room for expenditures, UREC has made no drastic changes to their budget.

“There have been no massive cutbacks, just changes to the overall strategy and reprogram,” Shingles said. “For example, areas where we used to have two employees we now have one, where we had six we now have four, etc.”

UREC has been able to rely on memberships, sponsorships and facility rentals from external help. They have received assistance from alternative projects which have provided funding for gym equipment, irrigation projects and new turnstiles at the SAC. There will be no cut backs on facility hours or programs.

“No matter the budget, our overall goal is to fulfill students recreational needs,” Shingles said.

EDITORIAL | Systemic issues prevent SGA from being a powerful voice

A call for

competency SGA reform necessary for progress

A

s this year’s Student Government Association elections begin

today, the organization is faced with only one candidate running for president, an inactive Senate, a comparatively low operating budget and a general lack of student interest.

The power and influence of SGA seems to be in decline. In the 2011 elections, only 542 out of more than 20,000 students voted.

The state of the organization is less than ideal, but with strong support from SGA representatives and student groups, President Chuck Mahone has a chance to use his second term to make a real impact at CMU. We challenge Mahone and running mate, Maggie Blackmer, to fix the SGA. You have the opportunity to solve the problems that sometimes keep SGA from passing impactful legislation and being a powerful voice on campus.

First, we challenge SGA leaders to recruit a larger number of capable, dedicated senators and representatives. The Senate has gone into recess for the remainder of the semester due to a lack of quorum caused by academic issues and personal stress.

Mahone said in a candidate interview with Central Michigan Life that the recess is not concerning because the senate has completed its legislative work for the semester, but he also called it unacceptable.

We agree. The early recess of the Senate shows us deep, systemic issues with leadership and communication between SGA leaders and senators. This needs to be fixed if the organization is to be effective.

Better recruitment strategies, in-depth legacy notes and training on senator job expectations would attract not only more, but the right kind of students to the organization. Senators who join SGA should be dedicated to doing their job and representing the student body. Leadership needs to hold them accountable for participating and not allow something like this recess to happen again.

Next, the SGA needs to improve its overall engagement with the student body. Leaders like Mahone have proven they can connect with registered student organizations, the Greek community and students already associated with SGA. But students who do not belong to those organizations still have strong opinions about campus issues and policies. It is they who SGA should be reaching out to.

SGA’s $23,000 budget is lower than other Michigan universities — the Associated Students of

Abbie Robinson | Staff Photographer Student Government Association Student Body President Chuck Mahone welcomes students back for the spring semester on Jan. 26, in Anspach Hall.

Michigan State University work with $1.6 million, and Saginaw Valley State University’s Student Association has a $140,000 budget, making it difficult for SGA to even afford promotional materials.

However, utilizing social media is free and is the best way to disseminate information to students.

Stronger social media engagement would allow SGA to gauge public opinion and build a relationship with students.

SGA’s official website seems not to have been updated since 2012. This is baffling. That must change if students are to be informed about what their representatives are doing.

Finally, we challenge SGA to initiate projects that

affect a larger number of students. Mahone’s goals for this and last election have been both tangible and realistic, but underwhelming. This year’s platform points — extended library hours, space request reform for RSOs and the inclusion of larger, wider desks — are all attainable ideas.

SGA needs to tap into the larger concerns that are important to the student body and make them the focus of their advocacy.

Mahone told Central Michigan Life in his candidate interview that he believes he is worth the 24 credits of free tuition he is granted as SGA president.

We, and the other students at CMU, want to see you prove it.

Everything will be alright in a tent Zahra Ahmad News Editor

Everything makes a little more sense when I’m laying in a tent under the stars.

It was a week before I turned 18 that I decided my birthday should be spent with close friends and a couple of tents. I was heading off to college in two weeks and I wanted to relieve some stress before entering the most important years of my life.

The day before I entered adulthood, I packed a car with my sister and two close friends and immersed myself in the natural beauty of northern Michigan.

We had spent most of the day hiking through the trails of Manistee, in search of perfect ground to set up camp. It was three hours into the hike when we finally found a spot overlooking the river.

We ate a gourmet dinner of canned beans and ramen noodles as a roaring fire kept us company while the sun set.

Our shadows cast over the tents as we started to reminisce about our senior year of high school and the countless memories we made over the summer.

I crawled into the tent occupied by my sister, Hawra, and my friend, Katie, and fell asleep within a few hours.

I woke up at 3 a.m. and decided to remove the tent’s cover. I stared into the star cluttered sky hoping to find an answer to a question I had been avoiding all day.

“So what now?”

I had turned 18 but I felt the same.

Where was the wisdom I was promised once I entered adulthood?

Staring aimlessly at the painted array of lights above me, I realized I was pretty happy without an answer. I had escaped to the woods to find the courage to face college and adulthood.

I chased the whispers that I’d hoped would guide me through the worries and concerns of leaving home and my friends.

But the stars painted me a different answer that night. They told me adulthood isn’t something that clicks your first couple of weeks of college or after 18 years of life.

The tall trees that circled me showed me that only time grants experience and wisdom. The smell of the earth and the bristle breeze washed away my worries and I fell back to sleep.

Now two years into college, I find sanity in moments I get to spend outside in the wilderness. That moment seems to find me alone in the woods, letting me know that the world is large and full of opportunities.

Everything will always end up alright. I just needed to spend the night in a tent to realize that.

Clarke Historical Library houses records, preserves newspapers

By Conner Emery Staff Reporter

Exhibits collected in the Clarke Historical Library take students and community members through some of Michigan’s most interesting periods in time.

The library features several interesting collections like the Native American Records, documentation of Ernest Hemingway’s time in Northern Michigan, an extensive collection of children’s books and Michigan’s Newspaper Preservation.

Young Days of Ernest Hemingway

Hemingway, a famous 20th century author and journalist, spent most of his childhood years in Northern Michigan.

Hemingway spent summers at his family’s cottage on Walloon Lake in Petosky.

Clarke has records of the time he spent there and various activities like hunting, fishing and writing.

“Most people associate Hemingway with his home (in Oak Park, Illinois),” said Bryan Whitledge, reference specialist at Clarke. “Very few know of his roots planted right here in Michigan.”

Clarke has records of items used by Hemingway and his family, manuscripts by people who knew the family and many other books, periodicals and photographs.

Native American Records

Clarke Historical Library has the most complete collection of Native American

materials in the state.

The collection includes books, periodicals, manuscripts, maps and graphics.

The largest portion of the collection is the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Collection: Forty 600-700 page volumes of letters, speeches, reports and essays involving Native Americans dating from 1650-1850.

“We love the rich history of Native Americans and their origins in Michigan,” said John Fiest, reference librarian.

There is a children’s literature portion of the collection, which focuses on books written by and for Native Americans.

An Indian Family History Collection has several manuscripts that tribe members can use with the help of the Clarke Historical Library trace their family lineages.

Educational Books

The collection of educational books was started by Clarke Historical Library Director Frank Boles in 1998.

Boles started the collection in honor of his wife’s passion for young children’s books.

There are five different exhibits involving books and the concept of one room schoolhouses.

The exhibits include teachers and their responsibilities, students, structures of a typical school day, the architecture and style of small school structures and the collection of books used by students and teachers.

“The books vary from kindergarten to sixth grade,” Boles said. “It is one of the

largest collections in the state.”

Michigan Newspaper Preservation

The Clarke Historical Library has been self funding the preservation of Michigan’s newspapers onto microfilm since 1967. About 5.7 million papers have been preserved and the number is growing.

“Doing all this preserving, massive amounts of Michigan history can be saved for future generations,” said Kim Hagerty, microfilm services

specialist. “That is the main goal in doing all of this.”

Clarke employees are in the process of digitizing materials for online use.

Digitized materials can be found on CMU’s online digital repository CONDOR. Clarke also heads the Michigan Digital Newspaper Grant, a contest where cities can enter their local newspapers and explain why their papers should be preserved online. Milford Times, this year’s winner, will have all its materials digitized and available online.

On campus resources help fight mental illness

By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter

A National Epidemiologic Study on Alcohol and Related Conditions revealed almost half of college-age individuals had a diagnosable psychiatric disorder in the past year.

Sandusky junior, and secretary of Central Michigan University’s chapter of To Write Love on Her Arms, Lindsay Ball said one of the main reasons mental illnesses among 18 to 25-yearolds may be because of changes occurring in their lives. These changes are handled differently and hold potential to trigger old issues to resurface or new issues to arise.

“I think a lot of people think it’s one traumatic thing that sparks the spiral downward, but it’s usually a bunch of little things that can be too much for someone,” Ball said. “Any kind of stressor, from school to relationships, it’s kind of like a disease. It can be biological or hereditary.

There’s a whole spectrum of things that can affect it, but it’s often a lot of things that spark it.”

There are groups on

campus dedicated to raising awareness and providing assistance to those struggling, including To Write Love, a group that provides help to people struggling with addiction, depression, self-injury and thoughts of suicide, and Yellow Ribbon, a suicide prevention group.

Despite the high numbers associated with mental illnesses among college-age students, a survey revealed less than 25 percent of the individuals suffering from a mental illness actually sought treatment.

“Not everyone may feel comfortable seeking out help and getting diagnosed,” psychology professor Stuart Quirk said.

A reason they may not feel comfortable reaching out for help may be because of the negative stigma attached to mental illnesses, Ball said. Because of this stigma, students “don’t realize that what they’re feeling isn’t normal” and assume that the feelings and issues will eventually just pass.

Another reason students may not seek help is out of fear of judgment from peers.

“It becomes this big stigma that everyone is dealing

with, but no one knows about. I think it’s the idea that they don’t want to get help because of what people will think if they come out and say they’re struggling,” Ball said. “The stigmas are all negative, so that’s how people view mental illnesses. Mental illnesses aren’t positive, but they’re not scary or unusual.”

There has been an increase of mental health services within the past three to four years, according to counseling center data. The Counseling Center, Human Development Clinic and Psychological Training and Consultation Center are also available for those seeking help.

“It takes a lot of strength and courage to face and deal with one’s problems,” said director of the counseling center Ross Rapaport.

“That’s a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness. We truly believe that here. We all have problems sometimes, we all need help sometimes.”

Emergency sessions are available at the counseling center throughout the day. If all slots are full, they will find a way to work the student in. The center is

open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday.

If an emergency occurs after those times, a 24-hour Listening Ear Crisis and Referral hotline is available at 989-772-2918.

Sororities fundraise with food

By Emily DeRuiter Staff Reporter

Food got to the heart of important matters—and stomachs—as four Central Michigan University sororities held their annual dinner fundraisers last week.

Each of the sorority houses raised funds for their chapters’ respective philanthropies. Alpha Chi Omega raised $3,600 and Alpha Gamma Delta raised $1,578. Sigma Sigma Sigma’s results are still being counted. Phi Mu’s proceed results are unable to be released without permssion from the national chapter.

Alpha Chi Omega’s annual spaghetti dinner took place Wednesday and Thursday at their house at 916 Main Street.

The funds will go toward the Mount Pleasant Women’s Aid Shelter in the spirit of the chapter’s philanthropic focus on domestic violence.

“Our biggest goal is breaking the silence on Central Michigan’s campus,” said Alison Kozerski, Alpha Chi Omega’s philanthropy chair.

“It is a very sensitive topic, but one in four women will experience domestic violence, and it is even more predominant on college campuses.”

Kozerski said putting on Alpha Chi Omega’s spaghetti dinner was hectic but enjoyable.

“You walk in the back of the kitchen, the music is blaring and there is a million people,” the Northville sophomore said. “It’s crazy, but is really fun. It’s nice when friends from the Greek community come out to support (our) philanthropy, or people that (we) don’t even know.”

Alpha Gamma Delta’s annual “Taco Dinner,” was held Wednesday and Thursday at the sorority house at 607 Main Street. Proceeds go toward the chapter’s national foundation, which works to spread diabetes awareness and education.

Alpha Gamma Delta’s philanthropy chair, Shelby Limpert, said the taco dinner had a “good amount” of people dine for a good cause.

“It is called Fourth Meal because our (dinner) happens from 9p.m. to 2 a.m., so it is your fourth meal of the

day,” said Port Huron junior Madeline Price, vice president of Tri-Sigma’s operations.

Staples Family Concert Hall was filled with saxophone music, Central Michigan University students, alumni and professors, along with visiting high school students and other guests at Saxophone Day. School of Music faculty John Nichol and the CMU Saxophone Studio hosted the bi-yearly event. The event invited saxophonists from across the state, including high school students and alumni, to listen to guest artist Chien-Kwan Lin, learn more about the instrument and play in the Michigan Saxophone Ensemble at the end of the event.

“It’s a very exciting time for us, the Saxophone Studio at CMU, and also for our guests that come in, which include amateurs, high school students and professionals,” Nichol said.

CB23 Women’s basketball standout Bradford’s career comes to a close

By Neil Rosan and Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporters

A

highly-acclaimed, yet inexperienced Crystal Bradford took the floor as a Chippewa for the first time early in the first half against the Northwestern University Wildcats on Nov. 11, 2011.

It marked the start of what would become the most individually successful women’s basketball career in program history.

Controversy and Injury Serving three one-game suspensions during her CMU career, Bradford has matured since arriving in

Crystal Bradford Class: Senior Hometown: Detroit High School: Inkster Major: Sports Studies Height: 6-foot Position: Guard Total Career Points: 2,006 Notable accolades: 2014 MAC Player of the Year, 2014 MAC Defensive Player of the Year, 2013-14 All-MAC First Team, In 2012 scored a CMU NCAA Tournament record 36 points and added 14 rebounds and seven assists in first round of NCAA Tournament versus Oklahoma, named MAC Tournament MVP and All-MAC First-Team selection.

Mount Pleasant, her coaches say.

“It was a growing process,” Guevara said. “She had to understand the choices she made, and understand the ramifications of the choices.”

A drunken driving charge in October 2013 was Bradford’s biggest off-the-court mistake during her time at CMU. “She had to understand that she represented more than just herself.

She represented the program,” Guevara said. “Eventually that sunk in with her.”

Suffering a season-ending knee

injury at the end of her junior season, Bradford was unable to compete in the 2014 MAC Tournament that spring.

The women lost the first game they played in Cleveland that year, and Bradford embraced a different kind of leadership heading into her senior campaign.

“Recovery was a life lesson,” she said. “Basketball and life play a part with each other.

Sometimes you will get at your peak and then you will take a tough loss. But you have to keep your head up and stay positive.”

Bradford’s knee injury bothered her throughout her senior season, and she watched the final few games of the 2014-15 campaign from the sidelines due to injury.

Not your average numbers During her four seasons, Bradford scored more than 500 points twice.

The 588 points she scored in 2013-14, her junior season, is the most by any CMU player ever.

A flair for the dramatic and poise under pressure helped Bradford and the Chippewas claim a MAC Tournament Championship at the end of her sophomore season.

Crystal Bradford

Bradford is the top scorer in Central Michigan University women’s basketball history with 2,006 points, 68 more than Sue Nissen who sits in second place. Bradford also is the program leader in field goals made, hitting 805 shots in four seasons.

At the 14:40 mark of that game against NU, Bradford drove into the lane, completed an acrobatic spin move and scored her first basket as a Chippewa. It was the first of many outstanding plays during a four-year tidal wave of points, assists, rebounds and defensive prowess.

“Being the best is what has kept me motivated,” Bradford said.

“I’ve always wanted to be the best.

I dreamed about being the best here. To see my dream come true is humbling.”

When she recruited Bradford as a senior at Inkster High School, Head Coach Sue Guevara knew the potential Bradford had at the collegiate level.

“With any freshman coming into a new program, you have these ideas of how they’re going to progress,” Guevara said. “I knew Crystal was going to be a program changer and she has been.”

Women’s basketball coach given five-year $234,000 contract

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Sue Guevara was given a $234,000 five-year contract through the 2019-2020 season. The eighth year women’s basketball coach will receive a base salary of $204,000 per year and another $30,000 for television, radio and other promotional appearances.

In her time in Mount Pleasant, Guevara has posted a 131-123 record in eight seasons as head coach of the Chippewas.

Guevara’s previous contract had a base salary of $194,500 and an additional $20,000 for promotional appearances per year following an extension in October 2013.

“Longevity is really important to a coach,” Guevara

said. “The support from the administration is so beneficial.”

The contract comes following a season in which the Chippewas finished 13-18 overall, after injuries derailed a promising season.

“When you have a year like we had where the expectations were so high and adversity hits, it’s nice to know that your administration understands the ups and downs that go with teams,” Guevara said. “The support gives you a peace of mind that they’re with you through thick and thin.”

The CMU women’s basketball following has helped give Guevara support, too.

“That goes with all of our fans, and everything,” she said. “We’ve had some fans that have been there through

the good, the bad and the ugly. They’ve stayed on the ship, and that’s key.”

Athletics Director Dave Heeke said Guevara’s drive to get better each season is what justifies her pay increase.

“I am pleased to again illustrate our strong commitment to Sue Guevara and our women’s basketball program,” Heeke said in a statement. “Coach Guevara consistently displays outstanding energy and passion for Central Michigan University, its student-athletes and the entire campus community.”

Guevara was quick to credit her coaching staff as a crucial piece to her success at CMU. w guevara | 4B

Jonker not pleased with softball team’s home-opener performance

By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

Returning to Mount Pleasant to play at Margo Jonker Stadium for the first time this season was supposed to be a special occasion the Central Michigan University softball team.

The Chippewas dropped both games of their doubleheader to Ball State University by scores of 14-7 and 9-5 respectively, falling to 8-15 on the season and 0-2 in MidAmerican Conference play.

“It’s always good to come back home, but it’s disappointing to me when we don’t play very well in front of our home fans,” Head Coach Margo Jonker said. “We have so much support from so many different people. It’s just so disappointing.”

Game 1

For six innings in game one against the Cardinals it seemed as if the Chippewas would cruise to victory, scoring six runs in the bottom of the second inning.

CMU maintained a 6-3 lead, playing error-free going into Ball State’s final at-bat in the top of the seventh inning.

The Cardinals then scored 11 runs on seven hits, including a 3-run home run and won the game with a lastinning comeback.

“The whole thing broke down for us (in the seventh inning),” Jonker said. “We had a couple balls go through third base and, all of a sudden, it got in our heads a little bit.”

Game 2

CMU grabbed the lead early, scoring two runs in the second and third innings, only to have the Cardinals come back to score two in the third, fourth and sixth innings.

According to Jonker, defense and pitching were the two primary problems afflicting her team on Saturday.

“Our defense and pitching broke down,” Jonker said.

Offensive Highlights Despite the two home losses at the hands of the

Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer

Freshman outfielder Lacy Tolfree heads to first base March 28 at Margo Jonker Stadium.

“We have so much support from so many different people.

It’s just so disappointing.”

Margo Jonker, Head Coach Cardinals, collectively the Chippewas tallied 21 total hits during the two games. Senior right fielder Kristen Kuhlman went 2-for-3 with three runs batted in during game one, which included a bases-clearing triple to put CMU up by a sizeable margin.

“There were a couple good things I saw out of (Kuhlman) and I’m really excited with the way she’s playing,” Jonker said.

Kulman’s batting average now leads the team at .346.

Weather a problem for softball team

By Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

In February, the Chippewas saw their entire four-game trip to Tennessee canceled due to inclement weather. Now, almost a month later, CMU has seen four more games canceled.

These cancelations have been less than ideal for the squad. Leading up to the most recent string of dropped games, the Chippewas had a scheduled 11-day break as the team made it’s way back from Florida.

After playing 12 games in seven days, it was a deserved break for CMU, but the Chippewas were in for a bit of a surprise. The weather forced the team to rest for another three days, giving the players a two-week break in the

middle of the season.

Before the unexpected time off, CMU was starting to gain some momentum.

The Chippewas were 6-4 in their last ten games. Pitchers Rachael Knapp and Hanna Warren combined to throw four complete game shutouts, while the Chippewas’ bats failed to score only once during the 10-game stretch.

Six different CMU batters had raised their batting averages above .250 and the team had an on base percentage of .329.

This all seemed to change when the streaking Chippewas were cooled off by the cold weather. In CMU’s first two games back following the break, the team was outscored 23-12 by the Ball State Cardinals.

whose average sits at .296 on the season, was another source of offensive stability in the two losses.

DeLamielleure smacked a home run to right center field during the Chippewas’ final at-bat of the afternoon, making her the team leader in home runs with three on the season.

She, along with freshman left fielder Lacy Tolfree and senior center fielder Sara Hansen had multi-hit games, with Tolfree and Hansen reaching base twice on a pair of base hits each.

Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer Senior third baseman Trista Cox warms up before stepping up to the plate March 28 at Margo Jonker Stadium.

SO CLOSE YOU CAN WALK TO CAMPUS! Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

This was surprising given the Chippewas had allowed 94 runs and held opposing batters to a .271 batting average leading up to the weekend series.

The CMU bats did not cool off as much during the break.

The Chippewas combined for 22 hits on Saturday in 63 at bats, but did struggle during scoring opportunities with 12 runners left on base.

It seemed like the Chippewas were out of sync and now must look to their upperclassmen to get the team back into a rhythm.

Junior Chelsea DeLamielleure went 3-for-4 and scored three times in the weekend’s final game. More performances like hers should help propel the Chippewas through the team’s midseason slip.

Huntey powers team past Miami, baseball sweeps weekend series

By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

A shutout followed by a pair of one-run games helped Central Michigan baseball sweep Miami University on the road this weekend.

CMU is now 18-10 and 5-1 in the Mid-American Conference while Miami (Ohio) falls to 4-19 and 2-4 in the MAC.

SundaY

Head Coach Steve Jaksa called Sunday’s matchup a “back and forth” game. After three lead changes over a one-and-a-half inning span, Chippewas emerged victorious, 8-7.

The first inning was near disastrous for CMU with a pair of errors and a RedHawk base hit, but senior catcher Tyler Huntey recorded two of the three outs in the inning, throwing out two runners trying to steal second base.

The Chippewas escaped allowing just one run.

“A lot of times you can’t really see the runners running,” Huntey said. “You have to count on the dugout to let you know when they’re going to give you the best jump.”

Huntey threw out all four RedHawks that attempted a steal Sunday. The Stanwood native was just as effective at the plate as he was behind the plate, with a pair of doubles, three RBI’s and a run.

“He played at the championship level,” Jaksa said. “He threw out runners all week-

end. That’s what guys need to do. Step up in big situations.”

Huntey scored a run to tie the game 1-1, drove in a run to tie it 2-2 and broke a 6-6 tie with a two-run double, which ended up being the gamedeciding runs.

Junior pitcher Jason Gamble (4-1, 3.08 ERA) gave up six runs and eight hits over five innings Sunday, but still earned the victory. Junior pitcher Sean Renzi picked up his second save of the season with two scoreless and hitless innings.

CMU’s next game is Wednesday at the University of Michigan at 4:05 p.m.

Saturday

The Miami (Ohio) defense had five fewer errors Saturday than it had Friday, but it was still a RedHawk defensive miscue Saturday that helped CMU win 4-3.

CMU trailed Miami (Ohio) 3-1 with two outs and nobody on in the sixth inning, but a rally was sparked by Huntey’s walk.

Junior outfielder Logan Regnier singled and a wild pitch allowed Huntey to score.

Regnier would score to tie the game 3-3 on freshman designated hitter Daniel Jipping’s base hit.

“It was very exhilarating the way we came back and won

that game,” said Head Coach Steve Jaksa. “They were fighting like hell to get this one.”

A trio of Chippewa singles in the seventh inning scored the winning run.

Freshman pitcher Sean Martens (3-0, 0.60 ERA) earned the win, pitching three innings and giving up one hit and no runs. Martens replaced the starter, junior Adam Aldred, in the fourth inning.

pitcher Nick Deeg who shut down hitters Friday.

Deeg (4-2, 2.00 ERA) pitched a complete game shutout, allowing four hits and no walks while striking out six batters.

“He threw his changeup very well, I thought,” Jaksa said. “We played flawless defense, we

didn’t give up any errors. Then we start tacking on some runs, so we were able to keep the pressure on them and Nick was able to keep his focus.”

The Chippewa offense had no trouble, scoring in every inning but the second, third and ninth.

Fagan is Second Team All-American

By Cody DeBona Staff Reporter

Senior gymnast Kylie Fagan has been named a Second Team All-American Selection by the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches.

Fagan is the first All-American gymnast from Central Michigan University.

“I was in shock,” Fagan said. “Especially since it’s the first one this school has ever had.”

Fagan finishing the regular

season ranked No. 9 in the nation on uneven bars notching a first-place finish on bars nine times. She scored five 9.9s and two 9.925s during her senior season bringing her average to 9.890.

Fagan and her five fellow seniors are leading CMU to the NCAA Regional Championship on Saturday.

“I feel pride in myself and that I am able to help the team out on bars,” Fagan said.

Fagan is still searching for the elusive perfect 10.

In her senior night meet

after her bars routine, the crowd roared with chants of “10, 10, 10.”

“It’s quite an honor,” Head Coach Jerry Reighard said.

“She has done a great job and we can’t wait to put up her banner in (McGuirk Arena).”

Fagan found herself a single spot away from making the First Team All-American squad missing out by .05 on her regional qualifying score.

The Commerce native maintains a 3.7 GPA in her Early Childhood Development major.

Team concludes season with Florida weekend split » PAGE 4B

By Matt Thompson Senior Reporter

Central Michigan football players will become cheerleaders this weekend, with their bowl hopes hinging on three teams one win away from bowl eligibility.

CMU finished 6-6 and bowl eligible, but that does not guarantee them an invitation.

Athletics Director Dave Heeke said there are currently 70 bowl-eligible teams perfectly matching the 35 bowl games. But three teams have a chance to become bowl eligible this weekend.

“We’ll see what happens,” CMU head coach Dan Enos said. “I know it’s

Mid-American Conference Player of the Year

she said. “What she feels, I’m comfortable with.

Just don’t keep me over there too long. I don’t want to get stiff. Coach knows when I’m ready to go, and if I’m sitting too long, I’ll let her know. I trust her 100 percent.”

Bradford said she has grown much more intellectually than she has physically from her summer of rehabilitation.

“I have grown mentally, spiritually and I have grown to be a leader,” she said.

“Sometimes you don’t have actions when you’re not able to play. So I have definitely learned to be a better leader.”

Bradford can not deny the sense of hesitation or doubt that creeps into her mind as she attempts to regain her natural aggression and scoring power.

“Sometimes getting back out there is so mental,” Bradford said.

“You have to remind yourself, ‘don’t limp, you’re ok you can run, you don’t have to limp.

I’m out there (on the court) physically, I just have to get back out there mentally.”

As she enters her final year at CMU and her team begins its run for a MAC title, Bradford asks fans to consider one thing above all else.

“I want people to remember my heart,” she said. “I want people to remember how hard I play and how I leave everything on the floor. I want you to get chills when you watch me play.”

not a guarantee, being 6-6, that we’re going to get an opportunity, but we would love to have an opportunity.”

TEAMS THAT NEED TO LOSE SATURDAY

Heeke said if Pittsburgh, Connecticut and Georgia Tech all lose, CMU will be in a bowl game again, since there would be a slot for every bowleligible team.

“We need all three of them to lose,” Heeke said. “If they won, then it would be amongst other teams for an at-large bid. That would be a challenge for us to get in.”

Georgia Tech will play No. 13 Florida State in the ACC Championship Game on ESPN at 7 p.m. on Saturday. The

Yellow Jackets will either earn a BCS bid into the Orange Bowl with a win or be 6-7 and bowl ineligible.

The CMU players will root for Cincinnati (8-3) against Connecticut at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday on ABC. At 7 p.m. on ESPN on Saturday, the Chippewas will need South Florida to upset Pittsburgh, who just defeated a ranked Rutgers.

If one of those teams wins, CMU will put its resume and bowl appeal to the test with other teams such as Rice and Southern Methodist University – both 6-6 from a weak Conference USA. The MAC appears to be stronger than C-USA with seven bowl-eligible teams, compared to five from C-USA. “We’re in one of the better confer-

ences with seven bowl-eligible teams,” Heeke said. “We have two highly ranked teams, and I believe we deserve to get a bowl invitation.”

CBSsports.com projects the Chippewas playing in the Military Bowl on Dec. 27 against San Jose State. CMU would fill in for the eighth-best ACC team, which won’t have eight bowleligible teams. Last week, CBS Sports had CMU in the New Orleans bowl, which is played before Christmas.

Jerry Palm, the CBS sports writer who projected the bowl schedule, did not include Georgia Tech, UConn and Pittsburgh. In his blog, he said adding those teams would likely kick out a MAC team and/or Sun Belt team. The

MAC bowl-eligible school with the worst record is CMU. Palm had both Rice and SMU going to bowl games as well in his projection.

The five Sun Belt eligible teams all have at least one more victory than CMU, as do four teams in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).

It is very fortunate for the Chippewas that Ohio State, Penn State, North Carolina and Miami are all either self-imposing or on NCAA postseason ban – all of those teams have a better record in tougher conferences than CMU. sports@cm-life.com

VOLLEYBALL

Senior guard Crystal Bradford, a driving force in the MAC and in the Chippewas’ starting lineup, is comfortable everywhere except one place: on the bench. After a season-ending injury that came at the worst possible time, she’s learning how to have an impact on the team without ever having to set foot on the court.

Nearly eight months ago, Crystal Bradford’s basketball career took a turn for the worse.

After a summer of grueling rehabilitation, the reigning Mid-American Conference Player of the Year is back to prove she is still among the nation’s elite guards.

Last season’s Central Michigan University women’s basketball team played in the MAC Tournament without Bradford. The Chippewas leader sat out due to a season-ending knee injury.

“I had a great support system,” Bradford said. “I had my family, I had my friends, I had my coaches and I had my trainer helping me get back to where I needed to go.”

The senior guard said she sees this as her second opportunity.

“Recovery was a life lesson,” she said. “Basketball and life play a part with each other. Sometimes you will get at your peak and then you will take a tough loss. But you have to keep your head up and stay positive.”

That attitude helped the 2013 Olympic medalist cope with the frustration of dealing with the devastating setback.

“I just took it a day at a time,” Bradford said. “It wasn’t easy. Sometimes you can roll your ankle or something like that. A knee injury is nothing like that.”

Fellow senior Kerby Tamm said although Bradford is not at 100 percent, her presence and resiliency in the face of a destitute team sends a message to the rest of her counterparts.

“She brings such great energy to the floor,” Tamm said. “She’s a game changer. Having her go out last year was definitely a bummer for us. She’s on her way to coming back and making a great impact. We’re excited to have her back on the floor.”

Head coach Sue Guevara said that

Head coach Sue Guevara was happy with the home-opening win for the women’s basketball team against South Dakota State Friday after making lineup adjustments at practice the week before.

The Chippewas defeated the SDSU 88-62 at McGuirk Arena in its first of two straight home games.

Check out a photo gallery of Friday’s game on cm-life.com “I was pretty pleased with the way that we played; I thought we played a much better brand of team basketball on both ends of the floor,” Guevara said.

Guevara attributed the team’s success Friday to the starting lineup changes made following last week’s loss to Wisconsin-Green Bay. “The depth of our team really came through today; we had five of us in double-digit points, and we were just working the ball and

making the extra pass,” sophomore guard Crystal Bradford said.

“Defensively, we were talking; we were just in sync with each other.”

The victory was important in gaining momentum before taking on No. 5 Notre Dame at 7 p.m. on Thursday at McGuirk Arena.

“Right now, we are going to enjoy this game before I start watching film on Notre Dame tomorrow,” Guevara said.

Notre Dame is on a four-game win streak and has an All-American guard in senior Skylar Diggins, who

Senior Kyle Randall did not score a point for the men’s basketball team in the first half against Idaho State Saturday at the Jon M. Huntsman Center.

But head coach Keno Davis’ confidence in him was unwavering as he let Randall score his eighth point of the second half from 18 feet with a half second to go to give Central Michigan a 54-52 win over the Bengals.

“He’s the guy I have the most confidence in,” Davis said. “Whether it’s at the free-throw line, whether it’s taking that shot or making the right pass, because of his experience and the type of player he is.”

ISU had the ball with less than a minute to go, but freshman Chris Fowler stole it with the game tied up to give the Chippewas one last possession with 35 seconds left.

Davis said Randall was given the chance to shoot a pull-up jumper off a ball screen, or, if ISU played help defense, he would pass to a teammate in the corner.

Randall said it was a moment that he had not experienced since high school.

“It’s just like in the gym,” he said.

“Just take my time, stay calm, be confident and knock it down.”

Randall led in assists with four and only gave up one turnover. He made two of his nine field goal attempts.

It appeared CMU was breaking away at the start of the second half, when Kyle Randall contributed on a 12-2 run, with his first six points of the game from a layup and four free-throws, to give the team a 37-27 lead.

But ISU’s leading scorer Chris Hansen made two three-pointers down the stretch to keep the Bengals in it.

He made a three to conclude a Bengals 7-0 run to make it 41-39 with 9:22 left.

ISU, staying within striking distance, finally tied the game at 48 with a Hansen three, four minutes later.

Olivier Mbaigoto made one of two free-throws with 4:19 left that amounted to one of five lead changes the rest of the game.

Freshman Derrick Richardson Jr. had two chances to give CMU the lead when the score was 52-51 in the last

Wrestling team finishes 1-2 at Northeast Duals in New York on Saturday

By Bryce Huffman Staff Reporter

The wrestling squad finished 1-2 at the 2012 Northeast Duals Saturday, defeating Hofstra but dropping matches to Cornell and Oklahoma in Troy, N.Y. No. 11 Central Michigan began the annual tournament with a 17-15 loss to No. 8 Cornell.

“Both teams won five matches a piece, but Cornell got two big wins by major decision that put them ahead by two points,” head coach Tom Borrelli said. “It seemed like every time we would win a big match, they would answer with a win.”

The Big Red held a 13-6 lead, seemingly dominating the Chippewas until junior 174-pounder Craig Kelliher won a 7-3 match over freshman Duke Pickett to cut the lead.

Senior heavyweight Jarod Trice stepped in for the final match with CMU trailing 17-12, needing a pin against Cornell senior Stryker Lane.

Trice earned a 2-1 decision but

wasn’t able to pin Lane.

“Trice won his match, so I can’t be mad at him,” Borrelli said. “As a team, we can’t let a match come down to that anymore.”

Redshirt freshman Lucas Smith (157) and senior Ben Bennett (184) also earned decisions for CMU.

HOFSTRA

Senior 125-pounder Christian Cullinan bounced back from his first loss of the day with a 5-1 decision over Hofstra redshirt senior Steve Bonanno in CMU’s second dual meet.

Senior 133-pounder Scotti Sentes increased the team’s lead to 6-0 with a 3-0 decision over redshirt junior Jamie Franco.

Hofstra bounced back with victories over 141-pounder Nick Hodgkins and 149-pounder Jared Porter but never regained any control in the meet.

CMU picked up wins from Dakota Cooley, Mike Ottinger, Anthony Bill, Bennett and Jackson Lewis to lead up to the final matchup, but Hofstra senior Paul Snyder defeated junior Mike

Murray, ending the meet 24-9 in favor the CMU.

OKLAHOMA

Cullinan opened CMU’s third meet with an 8-5 decision over Oklahoma freshman Kyle Garcia, but the Chippewas did not lead again the rest of the day.

The Sooners took a 21-3 lead after Tyler Keselring (133) and Scott Mattingly (141) were both pinned, and Smith (149) and Donnie Corby (157) lost overtime matches.

Borrelli said he was pleased with the team overall, but there are still areas that need improving.

“Our conditioning has been improving,” he said. “It was much better today than it was in our meet against Michigan, and the number of close matches and matches that went to overtime show that.”

The Chippewas made a run late, earning bonus points on major decisions by Kelliher (9-1) and Bennett (14-0), but it was too little too late.

Trice earned a 7-2 decision against

senior Keldrick Hall to end the day, but the team fell to Oklahoma, 24-14.

“I saw some good things in that win against Hofstra, but the loss to Oklahoma showed that there are still a lot of things we need to work

on,” Borrelli said.

The Chippewas are back in action at 7 p.m. on Saturday in the Convocation Center at Ohio University. sports@cm-life.com

During her career, Crystal Bradford has appeared on Central Michigan Life front pages numerous times, keeping her in the McGuirk Arena spotlight.

“My staff can’t get lost in all of this because they do a tremendous job,” she said.

“It’s good for them, too. It means that we’ve got roots in the ground here. It adds stability to the whole program.”

The deal helps Guevara’s recruiting efforts as well, she said.

“Kids want to know how long you’re going to be there,” Guevara said. “If you only have two years left on your contract, then the kids will want to know if you’ll be safe after that.”

The Saginaw-native guided CMU to four consecutive 20-plus win seasons from 2010-2014, and in 2013, brought home the Chippewas first Mid-American Conference Tournament Championship since 1984.

“I’m appreciative and grateful,” she said. “I know I’m probably one of the most blessed coaches in America, and in all of the MAC.”

cb23 | continued from 1b “She would always rise to the level of the team we were playing,” Guevara said. “The bigger the game, the better the performance.”

Senior forward Kerby Tamm was a freshman with Bradford, and said playing along side “CB23” was rewarding.

“I had a lot of fun playing with Crystal,” Tamm said.

“She’s a great player and I wish her the best in the future.”

Defensive dominance

While Bradford’s offensive stats broke records, what the fierce competitor did defensively sets her apart from other MAC standouts.

The program leader in rebounds and blocked shots, with 1,140 and 177 respectively, Bradford also ranks third all-time in steals with 278.

Her career rebounding tally is the greatest in CMU basketball history, beating the likes CMU men’s basketball legends Chris Kaman, Dan Majerle and Dan Roundfield.

“It’s fun to say I was able to out rebound Chris Kaman during my career,” Bradford said. “The fact that I’m a guard and I was able to get my rebounding down pat is a pretty good feeling.”

Bradford’s defensive efforts earned her the MAC Defensive Player of the Year award in 2014 to go with her conference player of the year honor.

“Her rebounding and steals records impress me because that speaks a little to her defensive abilities,” Guevara said. “She anticipates real well. When they decided to pass it, she was able to get a lot of steals. She is a good off-the-ball defender.”

Track and Field teams claim seven first-place finishes in outdoor opening meet “Warmer weather probably would have produced better results. To really get the great times you’re looking for better conditions. In the upper Midwest, it is what it is and you have to start somewhere.”

By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter

Mark Guthrie, the director of Central Michigan University track and field, told his men’s and women’s teams this weekend it does not matter what conference you are from.

The only thing that matters is performance on gameday.

Ten Chippewas proved they were better than the competition Friday and Saturday at the Lenny Lyles/Clark Wood Invitational at the University of Louisville.

CMU took home seven firstplace finishes during the meet, the first of the outdoor season, after battling cold temperatures throughout the weekend.

“For our first meet and in 48 degree weather, I thought we performed very well,” Guthrie said. “With who we brought, I thought we had more good than bad. We established a starting point. We know where we’re at right now and we know where we have to go.”

The Chippewas were led

Mark Guthrie, director of track and field

by Mid-American Conference indoor champion high jumper Matt Mueller. The junior bounded his way to a 1.99 mark to take the top spot.

“He had a good jump early,” Guthrie said. “Right now he has a lot of confidence and a lot of enthusiasm. He’s doing the work he needs to do to get better. At some point that light bulb goes off for everybody.”

CMU also notched a first-place finish in the men’s 100-meter dash from junior Tahshon Reese. The Arkansas State University transfer had a time of 10.78, while teammate and freshman Lorenzo Wells finished one-hundredth of a

second behind at 10.79.

“If you can get those top three spots in those meets you feel pretty good,” Guthrie said.

Guthrie also praised junior Brandon McCleese, who won the javelin throw with a toss of 58.43 meters and his 4x400-meter team, which consisted of freshman Erick Huertas, sophomores Malik Vasquez and Ziewmowit Dutkiewicz, and redshirt senior Clay Holman.

CMU freshman sprinter Tina Davis took the top spot in the 100-meter dash, after stumbling out of the MAC Indoor Championships, during which she ran a time of 12.08.

Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer Junior thrower Cole Walderzak readies a throw Friday at the Jack Skoog Indoor Track for the MAC Indoor Track Championships.

Senior Diamond Hamilton finished in second place at 12.27 to complete the one-two sweep for the Chippewas in the event on the men’s and women’s side.

First-place performances

came from seniors Emma Fishnick and Ravyn Baxter.

Fishnick won the 400-meter hurdles at 1:01.94, while Baxter had a 24.62 clip in the 200-meter dash.

“Warmer weather probably

would have produced better results,” Guthrie said. “To really get the great times you’re looking for better conditions.

In the upper Midwest, it is what it is and you have to start somewhere.”
