INDOOR TRACK & FIELD HOSTS FIRST SEASON IN BHWC

With the opening of the Henry D. Bullock Health and Wellness Complex, Muskingum’s 2022-2023 indoor track & field season will feature home meets for the first time in the University’s history.

The BHWC features state-of-the-art track & field facilities, including a track with an OSST ProTraxxElite surface, two long jump and triple jump pits, two pole vault runways, an elevated high jump runway, two throwing areas, and a multi-purpose scoreboard.

“Our team is so excited to have a home of our own,” said Director of Track & Field Operations Jake Gleason. “It means so much to our student-athletes to have dedicated indoor practice space and locker rooms, and they can’t wait to welcome their fellow collegiate teams and fans to the BHWC for our Muskingum Invitational meets.”

The first home meet will take place on January 14, 2023. To open the meet, the first-ever race in the BHWC will be an Alumni Mile. For information on participating, contact jgleason@muskingum.edu.

The Muskies will host three additional home meets on January 21, January 28, and February 17, and will round out their season competing in five away meets.

The track & field program will also host three high school track & field meets this season, welcoming high-school studentathletes and their families and fans onto campus. “We’re excited that prospective future Muskies will also experience competing in the BHWC,” said Coach Gleason.

Graduate Senior Macy McAdams ’21 Makes History at NCAA Cross Country National Championships

Macy McAdams ’21 competed in the NCAA Division III Women’s Cross Country National Championships on November 19, 2022 finishing 157th in the field of 293 runners.

With a ninth place finish at the NCAA Regional Championships on November 12, she became the first student-athlete in Muskingum’s history to qualify for the NCAA National Cross Country Championships.

Macy also captured the individual OAC Women’s Cross Country Championship title in a meet hosted at Muskingum’s own Moorehead Farm on October 29, becoming the University’s first OAC Cross Country Champion since Harriett Scheid Hunter ’92, ’10G claimed the title in 1991.

Macy is a high school art teacher for the Massillon City Schools and is currently working toward her Educational Specialist degree and principal’s licensure at Muskingum. She retained her eligibility to compete in varsity cross country this year as a result of the pandemic.

ANNUAL GOLF OUTING SUPPORTS VARSITY TEAMS

Muskies and friends came together at EagleSticks Golf Club in Zanesville, Ohio on July 15, 2022 for the Athletic Department’s annual Golf Outing.

Alumni, friends, regional community leaders, faculty and staff, student-athletes, and Fighting Muskies fans enjoyed a wonderful day of friends, laughter, and storytelling in support of the University’s 25 varsity athletic teams.

The event featured an 18-hole scramble with a capacity field of 32 teams and 128 golfers. A post-round dinner, raffles, golf-ball drop fundraiser, and prizes for the top foursome and various hole contests added to the energy and excitement of the day.

Thank you to everyone who made the event a great success!
