Despite few top-place finishes, the Chippewas' women's squad put out solid marks and times to get them where they need to be for the rest of the season.

In the home opener, the youth of the Chippewas was not obvious, having freshmen place in multiple events.

Both the men's and women's squads are looking to use the CMU Open to prepare mentally and physically for the rest of the season.

The Chippewas look to gain experience for their young squad this year, while anchoring on some key returners like Kulidzan, Parks, Ribbant and Turk.
