Michael Ponce, senior from Elkhart, IN, was a duel event winner at the Anderson Invite taking the shot put and weight throw for the Bethel College Pilots as the team went on to win the meet over 13 other competing teams. Ponce took the shot put with a toss of 15.72 defeating 37 other athletes while his mark of 18.50 goes in the books as a new BC indoor track and field record. Both marks eclipse NAIA 'A' qualifying standard and rank him first in the NCCAA TFRRS rankings this week.
