SPOKANE, Wash. – A small contingent of Whitworth student-athletes kicked off the 2023 track and field season at the Spokane Indoor Challenge on Friday and Saturday at The Podium.

Whitworth competed against teams from NCAA Divisions I and II from all along the west coast, including Stanford, San Jose State, Gonzaga, Montana and Eastern Washington. 

Two Pirates had strong showings over the weekend.  Adam Callahan finished as runner-up in the men's mile with a time of 4:25.20.  Solo Hines took fifth place in the 60-meter dash in 6.84.

Whitworth will be back in action next weekend at the Lauren McCluskey Memorial Open in Moscow, Idaho.
