GLADWIN SENIOR DIES UNEXPECTEDLY

METRO

Indecent exposure committed by employee

A Central Michigan University Gladwin senior died “unexpectedly” in early March off campus. Mitchell Sauve, 23, was found on March 4, according to his obituary. He was buried in Escanaba, as the family has ties to the Upper Peninsula. Public Information Officer Jeff Thompson said the cause of death might dictate what kind of information is being shared with the Mount Pleasant Police Department. Born in Bransk, Russia, Sauve moved to Gladwin County in 2003. He attended Gladwin High School, graduating in 2010. Sauve was a member of 4-H and became an Eagle Scout while in school. He is survived by his mother Marge, and brother Morgan. According to the obituary, those wishing to send an expression of sympathy are encouraged to direct them to the Gladwin Athletic Association. Services were held on March 10.

CHANGES TO ANSPACH QUAD DISCUSSED AT FINAL IDENTITY FORUM The final campus identity project master planning forum helped galvanize new tangible ideas on how to get the most use out of Central Michigan University’s open spaces. The three-day forum gave students, faculty, staff and community members the opportunity to see some of the ideas AECOM Technology Corporation had in improving campus as part of the campus identity project. A variety of ideas for different uses of open space were presented, with the focus centering on student interaction. One area in particular was the Anspach Quad. Potential design changes for the area included a small tower navigating pedestrians throughout campus, as well as the addition of new trees and other landscape touches. Another main focus was the admissions and library walks. Pete Sechler, director of urban design and master planning in AECOM’s Orlando, Fla. office, showcased designs which would help in improving the first impressions of perspective students during campus tours.

Central Michigan University Police identified the suspect arrested for indecent exposure in late February as a staff member in the biology department. Ryan Lee Wheeler, a 33-year-old Mount Pleasant resident, waived his arraignment for two counts of indecent exposure and one count of disorderly conduct occurring on Feb. 20. CMUPD responded to a call at about 3 p.m. of a complaint of a man exposing his genitals while inside a parked red van in parking lot 22 near Washington Ryan Lee Wheeler Mount Pleasant and Preston resident streets. “He was alone,” said CMUPD Chief Bill Yeagley. “There was nothing to indicate intoxication.” Before making the arrest, CMUPD Detective Michael Sienkiewicz said he noticed the van and watched it until he saw Wheeler expose himself to others who passed by the windows of the van. Police said Wheeler had no previous criminal record before the incident. “It was Detective Sienkiewicz who observed him take his pants down and expose his buttocks and genitals, while he was seated in his vehicle,” said CMUPD Lt. Larry Klaus. “We got a male student who witnessed it, a female student who witnessed it and a detective also witnessed it.” Klaus said Wheeler was a temporary staff member at CMU at the time of the incident. He was terminated following the Feb. 24 arrest. “He didn’t speak with the officers, so we have no idea why he was conducting himself that way,” Klaus said. “I’m sure on a campus community, you have people exposing themselves, but not in the way we found that day.” Wheeler’s hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. on April 9 in Judge Eric Janes’ courtroom.

For those students who don’t plan on letting the unfortunate timing of St. Patrick’s Day keep them from celebrating, it is important to be armed with information needed to stay safe. The Mount Pleasant Police Department issued nine minor in possession citations and seven open intoxication citations last year. Public Information Officer Jeff Thompson said there were other traffic-related violations that could not be directly related to holiday celebrations. To protect oneself from a potential run-in with law enforcement, Thompson stressed the idea of minimizing risk by remaining alert and responsible. “A primary rule of risk management is to not put yourself in a situation that may be risky,” Thompson said. “By using good judgment

and drinking responsibly, a person should be able to recognize when a situation is getting out of control and make the decision to leave the risky situation.” Thompson also advised using a “buddy system” to ensure the safety of friends. By watching out for one another and monitoring alcohol consumption, students can take the extra step to make sure no harm comes to those celebrating the green holiday. In addition to staying out of trouble, students should make sure they are not putting themselves in danger when it comes to their physical health. A lack of responsibility when drinking can lead serious health concerns.

Upcoming Special Olympics fundraiser to feature wacky bowling

Andrew Whitaker | Staff Photographer Head Athletic Trainer, John Mason, stands in McGuirk Arena during the women’s volleyball team practice. Mason has been head athletic trainer since 1989 and has been with Central Michigan University since 1981.

SIDELINE SUPPORT Athletic trainers unsung heroes of CMU sports By Cody DeBona Staff Reporter

An athlete’s conditioning is on display during sporting contests but scarcely does the spotlight shine on those who keep them in peak form. Central Michigan University’s athletic training staff maintains athlete health and quells injuries throughout the various seasons. “My favorite part is seeing them getting better through their rehab,” said Jenade Holloway, an assistant athletic trainer. “It stinks when we see them get hurt obviously, but actually seeing them progress and finally getting to see them perform their sport, and perform it well, is great.” March is National Athletic Training Month to help spread the word about the importance of athletic trainers and to recognize their commitments and the sacrifices they make to help athletes do what they love. “I’ve actually had the opportunity to help mentor some of my athletes,” Holloway said. “I am involved with some different campus ministries here at CMU and have just had the great opportunity to help mentor. I get to know some of my athletes in a more spiritual sense and helping encourage them in their lives, but in the same instance, there still has to be that professionalism.” Each athletic trainer is assigned to a different sport and travels with their team. Through close contact over the year, some of the

trainers get to know athletes and coaches personally. “It helps you understand them, and I think it helps you treat and deal with them when they are injured,” said John Mason, the head athletic trainer. “You know what the expectations (of the coaches) in that aspect (are) when you do have an injury, pretty well.” Varying levels of contact in sports, ranging from football and wrestling to baseball and gymnastics, generate different injuries worthy of special attention. Some of the most common injuries deal with knees, ankles and shoulders. When an injury arises in a game, it’s the athletic trainer’s job to make an initial evaluation of the problem and severity of the injury, and decide if they should continue participation. “If it is something that is significant, either (the athlete) doesn’t want to participate or can’t participate, and is out for the rest of the contest, we have to make a decision on what course we are going to take,” Mason said. “We choose what course to treat the injury (by) treating the problem, or seeking another medical opinion from one of our physicians, or referring for other care.” Athletes in need of care go to the athletic training center inside the Rose Center before their practice session or game. Trainers do therapeutic exercises, stretching and other procedures, depending on the injury and what they can accomplish. Some-

times the key for athletes to reduce recovery time is to go to the athletic training center two to three times a day, while others demand simple rest. Trainers are responsible for diagnosis and suggested treatment. The staff includes six full-time trainers and five graduate assistant certified athletic trainers. “We’re really looking forward to the medical school students,” Mason said. “It’s definitely going to help expand our field and help the students. We have physicians, physical therapists and massage therapists that we work with.” Every sacrifice student athletes have, athletic trainers share as well. “What people don’t understand is that a lot of times we travel midweek,” Mason said. “We’re on a bus and don’t get back until 4 a.m. with snow filling the parking lot. It’s tough on them, they’re expected

to go to class and do well the next day and the schedule can really be difficult.” Even though the athletes, coaching staff and athletic trainers travel to beautiful places including Las Vegas and New York, they don’t get to enjoy the sights. “It’s a blessing, I had an opportunity and went to the World University Games in China and I was working with the USA Women’s Water Polo Team,” Holloway said. “It was fun and a great experience, but we were there to train and to win. Most of my experiences were with the team, but they were great experiences.” sports@cm-life.com

After taking stages and classrooms by storm, the award-winning dance company, Jump Rhythm Jazz Project, is bringing its talents to Central Michigan University. The group, guided by founder Billy Siegenfeld, was formed in 1990 and has since traveled the U.S. to spread its wealth of knowledge with people on the ever-changing facets of jazz music and dance. A week-long series of events will surround the group beginning Tuesday with a screening of their documentary in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium. Open to students and the community, the events were created to spread knowledge to people with different degrees of experience. “While Jump Rhythm is on campus, there will be a wide variety of events taking place including dance classes, a lecture on American Rhythm Dancing and a viewing of the company’s Emmy-Award winning documentary,” said Heather Trommer-Beardslee, University Theatre Dance Company artistic

director and program coordinator. “There is even a class on (Saturday) for people who do not identify themselves as dancers (because) we want everyone to have the opportunity to be involved.” The week will conclude with a performance by Jump Rhythm Jazz Project at 7:30 p.m. in Plachta Auditorium on Saturday, with tickets available through Ticket Central. Prices range from $10 for students and $18 for the general public. Many sponsors and hard-working CMU entities worked to make these events possible, including the CMU Office of the Provost, College of Communication and Fine Arts, the Department of Communication and Dramatic Arts, and University Theatre. “I am excited to be involved in the planning of this event because this is going to be such a great opportunity for CMU and (the) extended community,” Trommer-Beardslee said. “This will be an excellent opportunity for my students to take (a) class with one of the great innovators of jazz and tap dance.” According to the group’s official website, it is committed to touching

lives through music, singing and dance to help people gain experience like nothing else. “People who have seen a Jump Rhythm show or taken a Jump Rhythm class often comment on how ‘human’ the experience feels — how Jump Rhythm’s fusion of dancing and singing and emotion touches people in a deep part of themselves,” the website reads. “Dancing and singing in this human way defines the performance tradition that Jump Rhythm grew out of.” The talent and mission of the group is not lost on students

What better way to enforce their philosophies than through dance?” studentlife@cm-life.com

The Isabella United Way is accepting applications for its 2014 Community Investment Fund. The due date for applications is April 4 and allocations will be shortly after.

In the past decade, United Way of Isabella County has invested more than $1.66 million, supporting 39 community programs. The first approval of the Community Investment Fund grants will be determined in May at the board of trustees quarterly meeting. Applications for qualified programs as well as donation, avocation and volunteer links to the organization can be found online at United Way of Isabella County’s website. The maximum request of any qualifying program must not exceed $10,000. Max Milne, staff reporter

OUR RIGHT TO KNOW

A Sunshine Week call for freedom of information and increased transparency

ourth U.S. President and author of the first amendment James Madison said

knowledge will forever govern ignorance. People who mean to be their own governors must continuously arm themselves with the

“A popular government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy; or, perhaps both.” -James Madison

power with which knowledge gives. the February report read. “Far from it.” The report continues to address the sacrifice of freedom of information to an overly broad and abusive interpretation of national security needs. “Investigative journalism often suffers as a result,” the organization announced. The Bush administration blurred the lines between constitutional principles and the need for increased national security – at times imprisoning journalists for refusing to reveal sources. President Barack Obama has made little improvement. The source behind WikiLeaks, Bradley Manning, is serving 35 years for espionage, theft and fraud. Barrett Brown, a freelance journalist, could potentially serve a 105-year sentence for sharing a link containing data stolen by the hacker collective Anonymous. Last year, the Associated Press had its phone records seized by the Department of Justice in an attempt to identify the source of a CIA leak of confidential information.

Rather than targeting journalists, U.S. officials are now placing emphasis on tracking down the source of the information. Under Obama’s presidency, the whistleblower is the enemy. All men having power ought to be distrusted. Madison’s words still echo true to this day – even at Central Michigan University. Last year, CMU listed “improved university communications, transparency and inclusiveness within an enhanced shared governance environment” as a focal goal for the university. This year, inclusiveness is again listed in our core values. As students, it’s your right to know what is happening within the university in the same way U.S. citizens have a right to information regarding the inner-workings of the federal government. Elected officials and those in positions to lead – especially when it involves money – deserve scrutiny. They deserve to be held to a high standard. They are expected to represent the views of their constituents truthfully, openly and fairly. Freedom of information is not just for the media. It is designed to empower all citizens. In a democratic society, access to information is essential to informing the public and an informed public is essential to a representative government. This week, we call for a renewed commitment to transparency from all areas of government. With the increased ability to share information online, there is no excuse for not making pertinent information – both the good and the bad – widely available. We value our right to know. We ask that people take advantage of their freedom of information. Request documents to back up assertions your public officials make. Stay informed and keep the government in check. We ask that our leadership, from all facets of government, work with us rather than alongside us. We ask that the truth be kept in the hands of those who deserve it most – the people.

Sunday was Madison’s birthday and not coincidentally, it’s the first day of Sunshine Week. This week recognizes the importance of open government and the concept of freedom of information. The fundamental human right of freedom of information – enforced through federal and state laws – allows the general public to access data held by governmental bodies. FOI and open records laws ensure that the government, operated by citizens, offers full disclosure of public information. In many cases, unfortunately, elected officials have preferred secrecy. Important information has been withheld and those who work to reveal the truth have been silenced. The week represents a nationwide initiative to discuss the importance of transparency, freedom of information and the public’s “right to know.” It’s a time to recognize the power people have over our governing forces both federally and locally. Elected officials work for the citizens. It’s a time to look at how far we’ve come, pinpoint where we still need to go and a time to adjust the sails on our future. Each year, Reporters Without Borders, an organization that monitors attacks on freedom of information, rank 180 countries by their ability to provide accurate information through the media. Last year, the United States was ranked 33rd. This year, we dropped to 44th. While the United States has typically been a haven for press freedom, as of late, our country has served as a growing menace toward First Amendment liberties – and it’s unacceptable. The organization lists the U.S. as one of the most significant declines this year – citing increased efforts to track down whistleblowers and sources of leaks for the downfall. “Countries that pride themselves on being democracies and respecting the rule of law have not set an example,”

CMU social work director announces Michigan congressional campaign By Mark Johnson Staff Reporter

Expect a few “Fire Up Chips” chants at election rallies this year. Susan Grettenberger, CMU’s social work program director, announced her bid last month for congresswoman in Michigan’s 8th Congressional District. The Lansing native is familiar with an important piece of the 8th District and hopes her familiarity with the area’s issues will help her during the campaign. “I’ve seen the effects of what happens in Washington on people that I know and work with and friends of mine,” Grettenberger said. “What I can do for the district is represent people when it comes to local issues. I would like to see people on the ground represented more fairly.” Grettenberger said the support she has received from friends and family encouraged her to run for

political office. The Democrat will be running against Congressman Mike Rogers, Republican. “There were a lot of people who encouraged me to run,” Grettenberger said. “Ultimately, I had to decide what I was going to do. It’s a pretty big undertaking so it’s not something that you have someone talk you into.” If elected following the Nov. 4 polling, Grettenberger will focus on an issue that strongly affects her district: Working to raise minimum wage. “Michigan, and the district, (have) a lot of people working at minimum wage. A lot of people are really struggling to get by on the amount of money available to them,” she said. “Even if you work full-time, you’re pretty broke if you’re at minimum wage.” Other issues Grettenberger will be advocating for are women’s health and public education, which she holds especially close as an

employee of CMU for 12 years. She also comes from a family that has produced a number of teachers. “I certainly care about education,” Grettenberger said. “ I also care about improving the economy in this district and seeing what can support the auto industry and other industries to increase the number of jobs.” Since announcing her bid, Grettenberger has received positive feedback from a number of different people. Jayne Strachan, professor of political science and director of gender and woman studies, worked with Grettenberger for a number of years during her stay at CMU. Strachan is excited for Grettenberger’s campaign, adding that her experience and expertise makes her a great candidate to serve in Congress. She said Grettenberger’s life experiences and insight would serve as an essential resource and tool for the rest of Congress, too.

Courtesy Photo | grettenbergerforcongress.com Susan Grettenberger, director of social work programs at Central Michigan University, announced her bid for congresswoman in Michigan's 8th district last month. If successful, she would unseat U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R). Grettenberger has worked at CMU for 12 years.

“I think it makes obvious sense for her to take her career to the next level by taking those interests and concerns and cranking it up a notch,” Strachan said. After growing up with Grettenberger, Charlotte Fitzgerald knew her older sister would go on to become a successful woman – and potential congresswoman.

“She was always in the know,” Fitzgerald said. “She would read something, or have an opinion on something and knew something about everything.” Living in the Lansing area, Fitzgerald believes her sister will be a great spokesperson for the district. “Even though she will be representing the 8th

District, I think it is similar to many other areas in the state,” Fitzgerald said. “She will be a good voice for all of Michigan.” university@cm-life.com

The only difference was Bradford, the MAC Player of the Year, was doing it in street clothes and on crutches. Bradford screamed direction, talked strategy with coaches and did everything short of suiting up for CMU’s heartbreaking loss. Role-players and unlikely heroes shined briefly, but CMU ultimately faltered with its most dangerous weapon missing.

Reason for loss is ‘Crystal’ clear Here is the truth: If a healthy Crystal Bradford plays last Friday against Akron, CMU advances and probably wins the conference championship the next day against Ball State. As much as her teammates and coaches will deny it; as true as the cliché “basketball is a team game,” remains. CMU’s best player is not your average star. For this year’s CMU women’s team, it is all about Bradford. It always has been since she got here and until she graduates or moves on, it likely always will be. This column’s purpose is not to convince you that Bradford is the only person on this team that mat-

BROKEN WITHOUT BRADFORD

ters. Her Mid-American Conference and Defensive Player of the Year performance this season has already done that. The point here is addressing the elephant in the room. Akron’s players and coaches both admitted that they knew CMU would “be a different team without Bradford.” So why are we (at CMU) sitting here and acting like our expectations should remain the same without her in the lineup? I was spoiled to cover this incredibly talented team this year. I refuse to downplay the remarkable efforts of Niki DiGuilio and Taylor Johnson. They are two top seniors in the

MAC this season. They are important to this year’s team, but they both played and lost to Akron on Saturday. If CMU won, none of this would be relevant and a lot of people would have been wrong, myself included. The dramatic and sudden style in which Bradford went down cannot be overstated. No time for in-game, on-the-court adjustment was available. This outcome was inconceivable, even a week ago. While covering the tournament in Cleveland, Toledo Blade writer John Wagner posed the thought: “I bet Jessica Green (whose season was cut short last year by an ACL tear) knows how CB23 feels.” Maybe. But I know that Green watched her team win the MAC that

year, while Bradford looked on helplessly as the Dominick Chippewas met Mastrangelo Assistant Sports their tournament demise just days Editor after perhaps the worst and best afternoon of her basketball career. In a sense, Bradford was a blessing and crutch to CMU this year. She was an X factor and a wild card. A beaming light that the Chippewas lived in darkness without against Akron. With her health uncertain and the Chippewas spirits at a season-low, there is only one thought that can come to mind. Oh, what could have been, or more accurately, what should have been. We know what would have happened with Bradford leading the way.

FIVE THINGS WE LEARNED By Neil Rosan | Staff Reporter

CLEVELAND — Here are five things we can take away from women’s basketball’s loss to Akron in the MAC tournament semifinal on Friday.

CMU missed the MAC Player of the Year

Even with the bountiful amount of talent on this Central Michigan team, it was not enough to make up for an injured and inactive Crystal Bradford. Most notably, the Chippewas transition game was futile. CMU was only able to score two points off fast break opportunities. Bradford’s outlet passing helps the Chippewas in this area, normally. Akron scored 13 points via the fast break. Being the MAC defensive player of the year, Bradford’s game on the defensive side of the ball could have limited the damage Akron created. Rebounding also took a dip without Bradford. The Chippewas were out-rebounded by the Zips, 49-45.

CMU was offensively superior in the paint despite the loss

In the first half, the Chippewas owned the paint. CMU was able to score 22 of its 38 points from high percentage angles. De’Jourie Turner, Jessica Green and Jordan LaDuke led the way with six points apiece in the opening half. Akron was unable to hit much from inside, with only eight points in the opening 20 minutes. The Chippewas scored 18 more points in the paint than the Zips.

LOSS | CONTINUED FROM 1B

A WICKED WEEK

Bradford injured her left knee during practice Tuesday, less than an hour after earning the MAC’s highest individual honor. She was unaware she had won the award at the time of her injury. As she sat on the practice bench with tears in her eyes and ice on her knee, Bradford was surrounded by her teammates and coaches. Guevara announced to the team that it was consoling the MAC Player of the Year. “I was petrified that (Bradford) would get on her phone and find out that she was MAC Player of the Year,” Guevara said. “I brought the team over to her. As happy as we all should have been, here is the MAC Player of the Year sitting here crying.” Bradford also admitted the moment was bittersweet. “It feels good to get the award, but there are a few other things

on my mind right now,” she said Tuesday. “If I’m over here looking sad (the team) is going to be all sad. Just because I’m out doesn’t mean we can’t do it.” Bradford is scheduled to be re-evaluated medically early this week. With an at-large NCAA tournament bid unlikely, the Chippewas future remains uncertain. “Our team had to adjust (without Bradford), ” Guevara said after the loss to Akron. “The tough part about that is we had to wait so long to play to see just exactly how it would adjust.”

THE MISSING PIECE

Bradford’s defensive prowess and unmatched speed were absent in CMU’s loss to Akron. The Zips scored 11 fast-break points to CMU’s two. The Chippewas allowed Akron to shoot 42 percent from 3-point range, including 75 percent in the second half. Green, who missed last year’s MAC tournament with a knee injury, led all CMU scorers in the loss with 15. “It wasn’t like we freaked out or anything like that,” Green

said. “It was a normal week. I thought we had a couple of players that really came out there and gave all they have.” Role-players such as sophomore Da’Jourie Turner and redshirt freshman Jewel Cotton made notable contributions to keep CMU close early in the second half. Turner missed two key 1-and1 free throw chances with less than five minutes remaining and the Chippewas down by 10 points. “Dogs that chase cars don’t live long and teams that miss free throws don’t win championships,” Guevara said. “This won’t happen to (Turner) again the same way next year.” After the game, Turner tweeted that she plans to get two championship rings in the pair of years she has left at CMU, tweeting she would get “one for each middle finger for ya’ll haters.” Senior record-setters DiGuilio and Taylor Johnson took a loss in the last MAC action of their careers.

Jordan LaDuke was ready to step up in Bradford's absence

The senior only started four games all season and played a combined 20 minutes since Jan. 25, but LaDuke was ready to take on the task of starting in a conference semifinal. She missed her first two shots before finding the bottom of the net. She finished 5-of-11 with 11 points. LaDuke’s double-digit effort was her fourth of the season. She also blocked two shots and grabbed six rebounds in the loss.

4. 5.

The future is still bright

All three of the top scorers in Friday’s game will be back next season. The same can be said about three of the top five scorers this season. While the circumstances did not work out for the Chippewas this year, they will most likely have a healthy MAC Player of the Year and plenty of experience come November. Though the season did not end the way many expected, there is very little that suggests the Chippewas won’t be competitive in the 2014-15 season.

Central Michigan countered the loss of Bradford with an even scoring line Chippewas fans have rarely seen a balanced scoring by committee approach this season. Many times one player, such as Bradford or Niki DiGuilio, would put up close to 30 points per game. This was not the case in Cleveland. Seven of the eight Chippewas that saw time on the court were able to put up substantial score lines, with only nine points separating the highest scorer from the lowest. Though the Chippewas did not reach their 83.1 points per game average, Friday’s 69 points came from a variety of sources.

Baseball could not finish the four-game sweep of the University of Incarnate World on Sunday, falling 2-5 to the Cardinals. The loss ended the team’s four-game winning streak. Central Michigan finished its nine-game spring break trip with a 6-3 record.

By Kelly Potter Staff Reporter

Central Michigan softball completed its 12game spring break stretch at the University of South Florida on Sunday, beating Yale 6-1. Yale took the lead in the first inning, scoring when Sarah Onorato was batted in by a sacrifice fly ball from Hanna Brennan. CMU quickly picked up the pace, scoring two runs in the second and two more in the third. Sophomore outfielder Evelyn Lorimer stole second base after connecting for a single and reached home to score in the second. Freshman first baseman Kristen Goodall followed Lorimer on an RBI single from senior Brittney Horan. Senior catcher Cory DeLamielleure hit a solo home run in the beginning of the third inning to add to CMU’s lead. Senior outfielder Lauren Bowman kept up the score with an additional run after DeLamielleure, leaving one player on base at the end of the inning. In the bottom of the sixth, Lorimer hit a triple, bringing home DeLamielleure, who was on base after grounding into a fielder’s choice. The senior catcher stole second base with two outs and reached home safely after the Lorimer triple. Yale was kept scoreless thanks to senior pitcher Chelsea Sundberg in the circle. Sundberg pitched all seven innings, allowing only two hits and one earned run. CMU opened the USF Under Armor Showcase with a six-game winning streak, outscoring opponents 31-16. The team suffered its first loss to host South Florida, 1-9. The Chippewas then dropped the next game to Purdue, being shutout 0-2. After struggling offensively, batting improved against Connecticut, scoring six runs on eight hits to win 6-2. They then beat Long Island 4-1, before losing

Season ends in victory, team prepares for fifth consecutive MAC title By Cody DeBona Staff Reporter

Gymnastics finished the regular season by returning to elite form in time for the Mid-American Conference Championships. No. 18 Central Michigan beat Western Michigan 196.175-194.350 at home Saturday for senior day. The team finished the regular season 15-3 overall and 5-1 in the MAC. “(I’m) extremely proud of our routine today,” said head coach Jerry Reighard. “If we continue on this route, we’re in good position for the championship in a week.” The Chippewas have built their program on a championship culture and let visiting teams know in their introduction video before every meet. In each of the last four titles, CMU concluded the regular season in victory, carrying plenty of momentum heading into the championship. CMU has won the MAC championship the last four years in a row, sending last year’s seniors out with a perfect career. Senior captain Brittany Petzold and Emily Heinz will strive to go out the same way. Although the Chippewas struggled on bars, their roster was able to score more

than 196 Saturday. CMU will need to look out for Kent State, who handed the Chippewas their only conference loss of the year. The Golden Flashes have a perfect 6-0 conference record. Their highest score this season is 196.275, below CMU’s season-high of 196.500, achieved against Bowling Green. “Going into a championship meet and having the rotation that we did (Saturday), I think it is very positive for our athletes to have the confidence that they just displayed,” Reighard said. “We just have to grow and develop a few things, one event can keep us from winning a championship.” The victory will be short lived in preparation for the conference tournament. “This week we’re going to have MAC meet days, which means we simulate the MAC championships with practicing byes and our rotation,” Heinz said. If CMU can lockdown bars like Reighard has pledged to do, it will have no trouble scoring mid to high 196’s and adding another trophy to his collection. And as for Heinz, she is looking to make it to nationals to get her name in

the record book. “My goal is to become a MAC champion on beam, which means I need a 9.975 to tie or a perfect 10 to get on the board,” Heinz said. “Ultimately, we all want to make it to nationals this year.” The Chippewas have five practices to prepare for the championships at Eastern Michigan. sports@cm-life.com

tory and a sweep of the fourgame series. Two errors committed in the sixth inning gave the Cardinals the lead, scoring two runs in the process. Batting leadoff was junior Nick Regnier, who went 2-for-5 with two singles. The Chippewas had seven hits as a team, but an influx of base runners did not yield positive results as they stranded nine runners on base. The pitchers gave their best

efforts in the loss, but ultimately could not hold off the opposing bats in the loss. On the mound was sophomore left-hander Adam Aldred. In his six innings of work, Aldred gave up three runs with only one of them earned, walked four batters and gave up six hits. He was relieved by junior Matt Trowbridge, who surrendered two runs in 1 2/3 innings pitched. Incarnate World recorded 10 hits, though CMU lessened the damage defensively, keeping 12 runners stranded on base. Central Michigan has had no problem piling on the runs, outscoring Incarnate World 23-10 in the series, especially in its 12-1 victory on March 15. Logan Regnier leads the team in offense with a .354 batting average, 28 hits and 19 runs. Huntley, the clean-up hitter, leads CMU in RBIs with 19. On the mound, senior right-handed pitcher Pat Kaminska leads the Chippewas with a 3-1 record. He has seven earned runs for a 1.85 ERA. The Chippewas will arrive in Mount Pleasant to prepare for their scheduled home opener Tuesday with a 10-10 record on the young season. They will face Madonna at 3:05. Central Michigan Athletics could not be reached for comment before print time.

to Maine 2-4. As of March 15, Cox leads offensively, batting .354 with a team-high 28 hits, 19 RBIs and seven home runs. She leads the Chippewas in almost all offensive categories including on base percentage (.384), slugging percentage (.696) and game starts (25). Freshman pitcher Rachael Knapp has emerged as a leader in the pitching rotation, with a 6-2 record and 1.88 ERA in her 12 appearances. Knapp has started five games, consistently allowing fewer hits and runs than her teammates. Knapp has struck out 73 batters this season and allowed only 15 earned runs with an opponents’ batting average of .193. Senior pitcher Morgan Yuncker has a near perfect 5-1 record in 11 appearances, holding a 2.59 ERA and allowing 38 hits. Central Michigan Athletics could not be reached for comment by print time.

Both teams were able to plate a run early in the game Sunday and it seemed as if it might turn into a pitcher’s duel. Junior catcher Tyler Huntey tied the game at 1-1 in the top of the third inning with an RBI single, bringing in sophomore outfielder Logan Regnier. Mistakes made on defense were key in the Chippewas not being able to finish the spring break trip with a vic-

Runner Powell eliminated from 60m hurdles By Ian Callison Staff Reporter

A five-year career of championship titles and breaking school records ended for Renaldo Powell after running his last meet at the NCAA National Indoor Championships. Powell raced in the preliminaries, but was unable to make it to the finals in the 60m hurdles, finishing 16th out of 16 competitors. The top two places in each heat and the next four fastest times advanced, while Powell’s time of 7.90 put him out of competition. The preliminary run was his slowest since the Akron Invitational on Feb. 2, where he ran a 7.91. His time was also several tenths of a second behind his performance at the Mid-American Confer-

ence Indoor Championships. Powell finished behind Miami’s Artie Burns, who recorded a 7.87 in the first heat. Renaldo Powell In his own heat, Powell was behind Trevor Brown of Colorado State University, who finished in 7.85. During the race, Powell said the opponent next to him traded elbow blows over the hurdles. This threw off his steps over the third and fourth hurdles, and slowed him down. “I got a great start and was feeling really good; I was ahead of everybody on the first hurdle,” Powell said. “I think I could’ve made the finals if he

hadn’t hit my arm over just two of the hurdles.” The cutoff for the finals was 7.69. On Saturday, University of Florida senior Eddie Lovett won the 60m hurdles with a time of 7.57. Powell’s place was good enough to earn him national recognition. “It’s great being second-team All-American,” Powell said. “There are those plaques on the wall of All-American athletes when you walk into the IAC and I’ve been looking at those since I came here. I finally get my picture on the wall.” At the MAC Indoor Championships, Powell raced his career best, beating CMU’s 60m-hurdle record. Powell qualified for Nationals with his record-setting time of 7.74. “It was a great experience

to be here and to be around so many talented athletes,” Powell said. “It helped motivate me even more. A lot of the people here were just like me, they had a goal their freshman year and they achieved it.” Powell ends his career as a two-time individual MAC champion in the 60-meter hurdles, in addition to holding the school record for the event. Because Powell competed for the past four years in outdoor track, he will be ineligible to compete for CMU this spring. However, Powell still hopes to compete in open meets and improve his times. “I know that the race I ran at nationals wasn’t the best that I can do,” Powell said. “I have unfinished business.”
