Track and field
The Linfield track and field team has competed in two meets so far in preparation for conference. The team traveled to Washington State University on Jan. 15, and then to the University of Washington for the Washington Open on Feb. 13.

The season looks promising for the ’Cats, as 15 letter winners are returning to the team. Of the 15, three competed at the national
level in the NCAA championships.

The team welcomes a handful of newcomers, too, including first-year head coach Travis Olson.

The team aims to compete at the George Fox Invitational in Newberg, Ore., on Feb. 26.

The following weekend the Wildcats will host the Erik Anderson Memorial Icebreaker on March 4 and 5.

Baseball
Momentum didn’t pick up for the Wildcats until the seventh inning in a tournament game against Lewis-Clark State on Feb. 20.

The loss was the team’s second and brings the No. 8-ranked team’s win-loss record to 5-2.

Before competing against Lewis-Clark, the team dropped a game against St. Martin University on Feb. 19.

The ’Cats scored two runs against the Warriors during the game. The scorelessness ended when freshman Tim Wilson crossed home plate on a hit by freshman center field Kramer Lindell. The second run was scored once a single by freshman outfielder Clayton Truex brought in junior infielder Ryan Larson.

The next game is slated for noon on Feb. 26, when Linfield will have a home-field advantage over Oregon Institute of Technology.
