Selinsgrove, PA – Messiah men's and women's track and field traveled north to compete at the Susquehanna University Open tonight. The Falcons are just three weeks away from the MAC Indoor Championships, and they continue to refine their times and marks in preparation for the conference finale.

"This was a great event to be apart of," said Messiah head coach Dale Fogelsanger. "We're getting better each day."
