At last year’s Rick Meindl Last Call, the RedHawks took home the team title out of nine schools by winning eight events and totaling 230 points.

Last week, Miami won the All-Ohio Indoor Championships in Bowling Green, Ohio, totaling 176 points to defeat 11 other schools from around the state. Four RedHawks won individual titles, as junior Michael McCarty (Hudson, Ohio) won the heptathlon, junior David Serrano (Pickerington, Ohio) took first in the high jump, senior Paul Krebs (Kettering, Ohio) claimed the 5000m title and freshman Jack Spilman (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) won the 800m in just his second collegiate race.

After this weekend, Miami will have used up its three indoor meets allowed by NCAA rules in preparation for the outdoor season. The RedHawks then begin their outdoor season March 27 at the Vanderbilt Invitational.
