Fifteen members of the Westmont Track and Field teams are ready to compete beginning on Thursday in the 61st NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships in Marion, Indiana. On Wednesday evening, the team enjoyed a tradition which has developed over the last three years, eating ice cream at Ivanhoe's Drive-In, in nearby Upland. While there, coaches and athletes shared their thoughts about the upcoming competition. "Everybody seems relaxed," said Westmont head coach Russell Smelley about his team. "The goal is to take away uncertainty and also take the tension down by not making the focus what they know they are going to do. We have had a lot of fun activities and have left them to themselves a lot. We have given them freedom to choose their eating and just to hang out. That seems to have them in a relaxed state of mine." The trip to Ivanhoe's is part of the tension reducing strategy. "Ice cream always makes things better," said the coach who has led the Warrior track and field team for 32 years. On Saturday morning, senior Caitlyn Corrao will be compete in the marathon, beginning at 6:00 a.m. (EDT). [Men's Schedule and Results] [Women's Schedule and Results] [More Photos] [Live Results]
