TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Bluffton University harriers ventured west to the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, Ind. for the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Cross Country Championship meet. With both the men’s and women’s team being dominated by freshmen and sophomores, it was not a day to see high team placings. It was rather a day to see young runners vastly improve their times since the team raced on this same course at the pre-regional meet in late September.
Dr. Gerald Mast, a professor of communication at Bluffton University, will discuss “Joyful Submission and Network Separation in Old Order Mennonite Computing” in a campus colloquium on Friday, Nov. 20.
