ROCHESTER, Mich. — The Oakland Golden Grizzlies Track and Field team is headed to Saginaw for their final meet before the Horizon League Indoor Track and Field Championships at the SVSU Tune-Up.
Last weekend, the Golden Grizzlies split their time at Grand Valley and Youngstown, as Eliza Bush picked up another freshman record in the 5000m race and Jamie Giese broke her own school record in the women's shot put (14.95m) and leads the league in the event.
At GVSU, Haileigh Bissett led the way in the women's mile, clocking a personal record of 4:59.98 to finish sixth overall, while Bush posted a 16:54.64 followed by teammate Courtney Bovair in the women's 5000m. Simon Griemert cleared 4.37m in the men's pole vault, securing a fifth-place finish. On the women's side, Allison Shelton matched that fifth-place finish with a season-best clearance of 3.43m, while Genna Golab added a 3.28m clearance to cap off a solid day for the vault crew.
Ja-Van Poole led with a pair of standout races, clocking in a 22.11 in the 200m before following it up with an impressive 48.14 in the 400m at the YSU Last Chance meet. Evan Bryan added depth in the 200m with a 22.50, while Austin Graham finished the 400m in 52.70. Blake Foster recorded a 16.25m in the weight throw on the men's side, while Elizabeth Rice highlighted the women's competition with a 17.57m mark.
