WILMINGTON, Ohio - After a big week of national rankings for the Wilmington College men's track & field team, the Fightin' Quakers look to take their success to a competitive All-Ohio meet. Entering week 4 of the indoor season, the team is currently ranked 6th in the Great Lakes Regional Rankings due in part to multiple athletes being ranked in the top 20 in the nation in their respective events.
The Schedule: Track and field events will start simultaneously at 11:00 AM.
The Teams: The Quakers will be accompanied by every school in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) as well as a dozen other teams from outside the conference.
The Coach: Ron Combs continues his 24th season as the head coach of Wilmington's men's and women's track and field teams. Combs has been named Coach of the Year, twice by the Heartland Athletic Conference, and once by the OAC. In 2002, he led the men's indoor team to a sixth-place finish at NCAA DIII Championships.
Who to Watch: The weight throw squad made up of Joe Shuga, JJ Durr, Justin Shuga and Nathan Marcum are entering week 4 ranked first in Division III National Rankings. We cannot overlook the shot put squad led by Blake Jamison, the Shuga brothers and Durr who come in 8th in the Division III National Rankings.
