ALLIANCE, Ohio – The Cleveland State track & field team was back in action Friday, picking up nine event wins at the Stark County Challenge.
"As a whole, the team did very well today, it was a heavy training week in the weight room and on the track, so for the team to respond this well at today's competition is impressive and makes me optimistic for the rest of the season," head coach
Jason Hudson said. "It was a chilly and slightly windy day as we kicked off the outdoor season here in Ohio, and I'm looking forward to continuing the work over the next few weeks."

Madison Luthy,
Zuriah Radeff-Koonce and
