BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The BGSU women's track and field team will resume their track season this Saturday, March 29th at Toledo. They will begin their outdoor track and field season as they compete in the Toledo Collegiate Challenge. The Falcons come off four weeks of rest after finishing eleventh at the MAC Indoor Track and Field Championships, which saw Lyndi Springer produce a sixth place finish in the 800 meter run, while senior teammate Jamie Roflow finished fifth in the 3,000 meter run and sixth in the 5,000 meter run. Senior thrower Whitney Hartman added a seventh place finish in the shot put.

During the Falcons' time off, the team saw Jamie Roflow named to the MAC All-Academic Team for the fourth year in a row.
