What a weekend for our Jaguars on the lanes! Both our varsity and JV squads showed incredible heart at the Leatherneck Classic. The varsity team competed at the Cherry Bowl and battled their way into the top eight by just two pins—yes, it came down to the last two shots! 🧡🖤
As the coach put it: “In the first round of bracket play, the ladies faced Judson. After falling behind 2-0 in a best-of-five, they showed incredible resilience, battling back to tie the match and force a decisive game five. Though we came up short, we finished the weekend 8th overall out of 28 teams. Proud of the fight we showed.”

The Jaguars are coming off the heels of the St. Francis meet to open the season, with the women's team taking first place and the men's second.
GSU Head Coach John Niendorf looks forward to today's meet for his teams.
"I am eager to see how the men and women compete today. Olivet will be hosting conference this year and today we will get a preview of the conference course that we will run on this November."
"This will be the first 8k for the men and 6k for the women that we will run this year. It is always a big adjustment for the freshman running these distances, since they're usually used to running 3-mile races in high school. It will be interesting to see how the young runners on the team adapt to the distance. Overall, there will be some excellent teams at this meet and I think this will be a nice opportunity to show what kind of team we have today," said Coach Niendorf.

#GSUJaguarsGovState Track Stars -Krysta Stanko and Clark Fremouw competed at the NAIA Nationals in Indiana May 22-24.
Jaguars Head Men's-Women's Track and Field Coach John Niendorf talks about Stanko finishing 15th at Nationals in the 1500 race on Thursday, May 22.
"I was so impressed with Krysta for, not only making it to Nationals, but for finishing 15th in the country. Krysta was the first athlete to make it Nationals on women's side for our young track and field program. She ran up against the best in the country in the 1500-meter race and made her University proud. Krysta Stanko has done everything the right way and worked so hard to get to this point. What makes it even more impressive is that Krysta is just a sophomore and has a lot left ahead of her. I can't wait to see the continued growth of this young athlete."
GovState thrower Clark Fremouw, Jaguar graduate student, placed 21st in the discus competition at NAIA Nationals held at Indiana Wesleyan University.
"Clark Fremouw really impressed me this season with his dedication to his craft. He gave it everything he had this season and finishing 21st in the country in discus is no small feat. He was the first male athlete in GSU history to make it to Nationals in Track and Field.
I am so proud of Clark and everything that he has accomplished this season. He has contributed so much to this team and his character is next to none. I cannot wait to see what he does next year!," said Coach Niendorf about Clark's frecord-setting throwing season at GovState.
