The Doane men’s track team finished in second place to Nebraska Wesleyan University by 14 points at the GPAC Indoor Track Meet, not by 22 points as reported in last week’s edition of The Doane Owl.

The Doane women’s track team blew away the competition at the Great Plains Athletic Conference Indoor Track Meet on Saturday. The Lady Tigers scored 160.75 points, nearly 80 points ahead of runner- up Nebraska Wesleyan. The women placed in the top six in 14 of the 18 events to seal their fourteenth straight conference title. On the mens side it was a battle until the end. The men lost only to rival Nebraska Wesleyan by 22 points. Senior Dusty Krusemark was named MVP of the meet for his outstanding overall performance on the day. Tigers that placed were:
