KENOSHA, Wis. -- The North Park University track & field program opened its season this past weekend at Carthage's Forever Red Invitational. The first meet of the season featured some first-place finishes for the Vikings.

Coach Bisrat Kidane's Review 

"First of all, I'm excited that we were able to get on the track," said Coach Kidane. "I was really pleased with some of the results that we showed on Saturday. I think that the students were really amped up, they had a lot of bottled-up energy, and it was good to see them show it."
