NAU offers final tune-up

With just over a week before the WAC Indoor Championships, the Grand Canyon track and field team will send a small group of athletes to the Northern Arizona Tune Up meet.

GCU head coach Tom Flood will send pole vaulters, jumpers, throwers and a small group of runners to NAU for their last bits of training before the conference championships.

Sophomore Zachary Galgan is coming off a WAC Field Athlete of the Week award after clearing a personal record 5.03 meters in the pole vault. Galgan will join senior Nathan Wesolek as WAC leaders going into the final weekend of competition and before traveling to Idaho. Galgan and Wesolek hold the men's pole vault lead in the WAC while sophomore Madelyn Lundberg cleared 4.02 meters two weeks ago and is tied for 50th in the country and leads the WAC as well.

Freshman Max Myers is coming off a personal record in the shot put. He catapulted his way into fourth place in the WAC with a 15.16-meter throw, beating his old personal-best mark by almost 3 feet. Fellow freshman Moataz Hassan ranks third in the WAC with a 15.72-meter throw in the shot put.

The reigning WAC Indoor shot put champion, Latoya Gilding, heads into the weekend ranked third in the conference, while senior Courtney Logan ranks fifth. Logan also ranks fifth in the weight throw entering Friday.

The Lopes will go to Nampa, Idaho, to compete in the WAC Indoor Championships Feb. 22-23 at the Ford Idaho Center. GCU has won three straight men's and women's indoor team titles.
