EAST LANSING, MICH. – Dozens of Michigan State Track and Field athletes are primed to make not only their season debuts, but their debuts in the Green and white on Friday at the GVSU Holiday Open in Allendale, Mich.
At the meet hosted by Grand Valley State at the Kelly Family Sports Center, the Spartans will have representatives in each of the jumps, throws and sprints events.
One of the women making her debut with the Spartan helmet on her chest will be grad-senior jumper/sprinter Taryn Hankins. Hankins, a transfer from Arizona State, finished in the top-10 in multiple events at the 2022 PAC-12 Championships.
Another transfer competing in her inaugural race for the Spartans is senior Scout Regular. Regular was an All-MAC sprinter and NCAA preliminaries qualifier at Northern Illinois.
On the men's side, making his season debut is NCAA All-American Ryan Talbot. A graduate student from Alto, Mich., Talbot recently earned a decathlon bronze medal at the 2023 PanAm games in Santiago, Chile on Nov. 1 while representing team USA. Talbot will be competing in the shot put, the event he topped at the PanAm Games decathlon.
41 total MSU men and women are slated to compete and make their season debuts while 11 are making their debuts for Michigan State.
The GVSU meet in its entirety will be streamed on FloTrack.
