Zips Looking Forward to Central Collegiate Conference Championships
Akron begins the heart of its indoor season this Saturday at the Central Collegiate Conference Championships. The CCC meet is rich in tradition and the conference was originated by Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne.
Of note for the Zips, Beata Rudzinska will make her Akron debut. Last year Beata ran 2:05.76 outdoors. She will be competing in the 800m. Joining her in the women's race will be Emily Freudenrich and Jackie Fejes. Jennie Castle, the new school record holder in the 800m, will be running her first collegiate indoor mile, as will Lisa McCaulley and Morgan Sulzener. Becki Michael, Brandi Schoeppner, and Sam Whetherholt will race the 3000m and Malia Milec will contest the 5000m. For the men, Jeff Swartzel, Nick Continenza, and Wes Parker will race the 800m. David Pykare, Tim Myers, and Adam Bray will be shooting for PRs in the mile, and Jake Magier will run the 3000m.
