Hope leads Crusaders at Indoor
Track and Field Championships
Maurus Hope had a meet worth remembering, so much
that he was honored with the
Men's Athlete of the Meet award.
Hope led by example and his team
followed, racking up school
records, championship meet
records and all-conference
honors.
Both the
NNU men (99 points) and women
(73 points) placed 4th
place in the championships,
representing the school well.
Coach
John
Spatz led the
team in the closing prayer
during the final team meeting
and summed it up well “God, we
honor you in everything first,
may you shine in our victories
and in our defeats.” and it
couldn't have been said any
better as NNU hosted a great
Championships by performance and
by its administration,
volunteers and local officials
who ran a great meet.
