Head coach Marcus Newsom was a busy man as his Wartburg track and field team competed at two different meets on Saturday. A mixture of both the men and women went to the Iowa State Open where they had five top ten finishes. Other members of the track team traveled to Monmouth to compete in the Midwest Invitational where the Knights had two individual champions.
Some may wonder what makes Wartburg track and field so special. Maybe it is the high level of competition the program seeks, maybe it is the emphasis on family or maybe it is those twins.
There are three sets of identical twins on the women’s track and field team.
The Wartburg track and field teams came in second place in the women’s competition and fifth place in the men’s competition at the Wartburg Select Meet on Saturday.
