KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- The Western Michigan track and field team will split up this week for a trio of meets in Texas and North Carolina. The sprints, hurdles and jumps group will split time between the Texas Relays and Texas State Bobcat Invitational. The distance crew will be running at the Raleigh Relays. 

MAGNIFICENT MABINTY
Mabinty Kebe has been sensational throughout her Bronco career, and the beginning of the 2025 outdoor season is nothing new. She placed first in the 400-meter hurdles at last week's Clyde Hart Classic at Baylor. She also posted a time of 14.24 in the 100-meter hurdles. 

Kebe returns after winning the MAC Championship in the 400-meter hurdles. She also advanced to the NCAA East Regional meet in the event in 2024. She currently ranks ninth in school history in the 400-meter hurdles and 10th in the 100-meter hurdles

LEANING ON LANE
Lane Hagens had an outstanding season opening meet at the Clyde Hart Classic last weekend, moving into sixth in program history in the shot put. Her mark of 14.67 meters was good for second in the event. She also finished sixth in the discus at the meet, earning a throw of 39.11 meters. 

GETTING IT DONE IN THE CLASSROOM
The Broncos haven't just had success on the track, as they have a great record of producing results in the classroom as well. The Brown and Gold produced a 3.55 GPA this past semester, including 13 4.0 GPA's and 23 student-athletes with a 3.5 or higher.
