Field: Michael Ponce, junior from Elkhart, IN, put together a great dual event performance on Saturday at the University of Indianapolis taking third in the shot put and the weight throw. Ponce's throw of 17.79 in the weight throw surpasses the NAIA National Championship qualifying standard and is also a new Bethel College Indoor Track and Field record. The Bethel men won the meet as a team defeating NCAA DI, DII, and NAIA teams. Ponce ranks 2nd in the NCCAA in both shot put and weighted throw events.
