INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Indianapolis Men's Indoor Track and Field squad was selected to finish third in the GLVC Preseason Poll released Wednesday afternoon.
In his second season at the helm, Head Coach Brad Robinson brings back key members including National Champion in the 800, Josue Le Cadre, and All-American in the long jump, Alex Meyer, to the Greyhounds' indoor squad, who led their team to a 13th-place finish at the Indoor Track and Field National Championships just last season.
The Hounds also return Senior Felix Rivet, who was an integral piece to the team's third-place finish in last year's conference championships, with a first-place finish in the mile, accompanied by a third-place finish in the 3,000-meter run.
The Greyhounds received a total of 118 points in the poll, trailing Lincoln who earned 135 points with four first-place votes. Lewis led the coaches' poll recieving 141 points with nine first-place votes.
