Should be interesting. GV distance runners typically race mile or 3k this week. Findlay meet had some good sprinting action last weekend. Will have to see start lists before making predictions. GVSU and SVSU hosting meets.
AND MY BOY ZACH PANNING WITH A 4:12
Steven Kapes ran 15:05 saturday.
Kapes ran 14:55, right behind Dalton Graham of Lake Erie (14:50). Panning ran 4:13. GVSU redshirt frosh Joe Renner in 4:12.9, watch out for him.
What's on tap this weekend? Findlay, GVSU, SPIRE? Any GLIAC teams running a distance med this season??
GLIAC should have 2 All-American DMR's with Hillsdale and GVSU, but I doubt we see either one until Big Meet. Hillsdale brings back Gatchell (3:48 outdoors), Schwanneke (1:53 already this year), and Wondaal who anchored last year. GVSU has Renner (4:12 this year), Porter (1:52 last year), and Mach (4:06 last year). I'm sure they both can find a 400 leg.
Both should have very strong DMRs for sure. Another option for GVSU in Dave Jones. He has run 1:54 and 4:13 so far this season. So a definite option at 800m or 1200m.
Mach slowly returning from injury
Thoughts on this past weekend or the one coming up?
Dave Jones proved he's legit with a 1:52.11 to take the conference lead. Chaz Porter was not too far behind so GV's putting together a solid DMR if Mach gets back to form. SVSU boys put down a pretty solid 3k. Honestly didn't see 8:12 coming from Goforth. Eisengruber ran 4:12 but still unattached. If they find an 800 runner and pull Eisengruber's redshirt they could put a good DMR out there as well.
This weekend Hillsdale hosts a meet which will probably be decent for sprints but have nothing on the distance side. GV is at Meyo? Anyone else running?

no. the entire gliac is off this week for black history month
GV has Panning, May and Bradley entered in Meyo. Ashland is at Akron. SV-Northwood dual meet. Hillsdale is the big meet for this week though. Big week for distance races next week. Will GV put Mach in DMR? He ran better last week, though still off from last year's form, but getting better. They could certainly qualify for nationals with Jones, Burnett, Porter and Renner. We'll find out.
Joey Humes 4:10.14#

Think Hillsdale will be able to put something faster out at conference?
It would make a great race up front if they could, but I just don't see it. Wondaal is clearly not in the shape he was last year and during XC, and I don't know who you replace him with. Humes showed some promise but relying on a freshman to be a big time leg is dicey. And 3:59 > 4:06. Gatchell can't hang on the anchor leg.

Looks like they're going for it tonight.
