The Men’s track and field added 15 recruits, 10 of whom are from Michigan. The state’s stand outs include Robert “Max” Babits (Fowlerville) a Division II State pole vault champion and Dalton Bates (North Branch) also a Division II State Champion in 300 hurdles.
“I am very pleased to welcome this class to EMU,” Coach John Goodridge told emueagles.com.
“Many of these individuals have the opportunity and talent to have an immediate impact for us. It includes school record holders, state champions, a national champion and two athletes with high national rankings,” Goodridge said. “An important factor in their recruitment was that every one of them was touched by the great tradition and championship experiences that EMU Track and Field has to offer, so I know they will embrace this challenge.”
