ALLENDALE, Mich. -- Michigan State track & field opened the indoor season Friday at the Grand Valley State Holiday Open held at the Kelly Family Turf Building in Allendale, Michigan.

"I thought we had a pretty good meet and set some really good marks across the board this early in the season," assistant coach Ceith Creekmur said. "We use this meet as a way for our sprinters, jumpers and throwers to end fall training and kind of see where we're at going forward. I thought we did well today."
