EAST LANSING, MICH. – Four student-athletes will represent MSU Track and Field in the indoor-commencing Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener hosted by Boston University on Saturday, Dec. 2, on what is regarded the fastest indoor track in the world.
Grad CarLee Stimpfel and sophomore Riley Hough will be competing in the 5,000-meter race while junior Noah Sage races the 400-meter sprint and grad Lauren Freeland will be the women's team's lone representative, competing in the mile.
The season-opening meet takes place just over one mile down the road in Boston, Mass. from where the Spartans hope to end their season, The TRACK at New Balance, home to the 2024 NCAA Indoor Championships.
Hough will be making his debut wearing the Green and White on the track after passing on partaking during his freshman season.
For Stimpfel, however, this will begin his second year with the Spartans. An eight-time All-American, Stimpfel transferred from Saginaw Valley State and will also line up next to some of the nation's top competition. The Cass City native last posted a personal best 5,000m time of 13:45.55 in 2021.
Sage, a native of Fenton, Mich., won the 400m-dash at three meets last time around the indoor the season and will hope to improve upon his personal best time of 46.36.
Coming off an All-Big Ten and All-Great Lakes Region cross country season, Freeland will hope to keep the momentum going into her third indoor season. She holds a mile PR of 4:49.88.
