against Aquinas and Grand Valley while the women faced Aquinas, Grand Valley,
Central Michigan, Northern Illinois, and Western Michigan.
On the women's side, Calvin took fourth place as a team behind several
provisional and automatic qualifying marks. Senior Lisa Winkle (Grand
Rapids/South Christian) had a season-best, third-place finish in the 400 meter
run (57.02) that provisionally qualifies her for the national meet. Winkle
also finished first in the long jump with an NCAA III provisional qualifying
mark of 18-11.
Sophomore Lauren Bergstrom (Rochester, MN/Rochester Century) captured first
place with a season-best and NCAA III provisional qualifying time of 2:13.23,
finishing just two-tenths of a second ahead of GVSU's second-place finisher.
Junior Sarah Wittingen (East Grand Rapids/East Grand Rapids) finished third in
the 400 meter hurdles with a season-best and NCAA III automatic-qualifying time
of 1:01.57. Wittingen's seventh place finish in the 100 meter hurdles (14.69)
was a provisional-qualifying and season best time.
Freshmen Jourdan Johnson (Gales Ferry, CT) and Heather Koning (Kalamazoo
Christian HS) joined Winkle and Wittingen in the 1600 meter relay to take
second place with a season-best time of 3:48.89, good for an automatic bid to
nationals. Calvin's 400 meter relay team of Johnson, Winkle, Koning and
Wittingen finished second with a season-best time of 49.06.
In field events, senior Lauren Colyn (Battle Creek/Kalamazoo Christian) had a
second-place finish in the high jump (5-5 3/4) for a provisional bid.
Sophomore Julie Bratt (Lynden, WA/Lynden Christian) finished 5th in triple jump
with a season-best distance of 35-3 1/4. Senior Megann VanderVliet received
two provisional bids to the national meet with a season-best throw of 44-2 in
the shot put (4th place) and 146-10 in discus (2nd place).
Other team points came from a 6th place finish by sophomore Anna Pranger
(Centenniel, CO/Cherry Creek) in the 3000 meter run with a time of 10.33.50, a
6th place finish (4:49.96) by junior Lynn Marsh (North Vernon, IN/Jennings
County) and a seventh place finish (4:50.97) by sophomore Anne Fennema
(Brookfield, WI/Milwaukee Lutheran) in the 1500 meter run.
The men finished second with a total of 110 points, beating out Aquinas (41
points) and coming behind GVSU (152 points).
In track events, Calvin had a two-three finish in the 400 meter run with junior

Rapids/South Christian) took third (8:50.65). Junior Kelby McClelland (Mercer,

meter relay team of Stroner, Cok, Schuster and Baker took first place with a
time of 3:19.43.
In field events, Calvin took second and third in the high jump with freshman
