Mike BikerHOST
And kept it from getting in the turf? Yep.
Mike BikerHOST
And the defense put some pressure on the quarterback, which they weren't able to do a lot of the week previous with Indiana Wesleyan, Joe Johnson, Zach Queering.
Mike BikerHOST
They put some pressure on the quarterbacks.
Mike BikerHOST
I thought our defensive tackles were – better than they were the first half against Indiana Wesleyan.
Mike BikerHOST
And I, I like that they have progressed and shown, um, an ability to be coached and to improve.
Mike BikerHOST

I'll actually link it in the show notes when I publish the podcast, because before I knew you personally, I watched that race because as a Spring Arbor alum myself, that was big.
speaker_0HOST
big news right that was a big deal to win a national relay championship and then there's an amazing photo of you and your opponent from indiana wesleyan at the line and it is just i mean millimeters that separated you in the wind and it is just one of those racing moments that for sure will live in many people's memories for quite some time Well, let's dive back a little bit.
speaker_0HOST
So you had this amazing moment, kind of the pinnacle of your career, winning this relay title.
speaker_0HOST
But where did it all begin for you as a runner? I mean, how did you first get into running? When did you begin? When did you realize, this is something I like doing and I'm good at?
Wes LynchGUEST
And he walked me through the process of how to transfer and even utilize some of my retirement to go work for free as a youth pastor and work my way up.
Wes LynchGUEST
And then I went back to Indiana Wesleyan and obtained a bachelor's in biblical studies and got on staff as a youth pastor and then an associate pastor.
Wes LynchGUEST
And Quickly realized, like, maybe I should plant a church.
Wes LynchGUEST
And it was actually one of the superintendents from the district said, Hey, I think you're cut from a different cloth.
Mike BikerHOST
They lost.
Mike BikerHOST
I mean, I don't want to lead with that, but went, played Indiana Wesleyan on Friday.
Mike BikerHOST
Very good Indiana Wesleyan team.
Mike BikerHOST
Very good offensive line for Indiana Wesleyan.
Mike BikerHOST
And got down, battled back, had a untimely penalty.
Mike BikerHOST
and gave themselves a chance, and in the end, lose by a touchdown to a very talented Indiana Wesleyan team on the road on Friday night.
Mike BikerHOST
I think when I talk to Coach Joel Penner later today, he will probably say, you know, everything but the final score was what they wanted.
Mike BikerHOST
So I think you could check a lot of boxes off for that game.
Shannon GriffithHOST
And I believe the football program is either going to go to an independent route, which I do not think is going to happen.
Shannon GriffithHOST
But I do think they're going to join the mid-states, which would be St. Francis, Indiana Wesleyan, Marion, which some people may be familiar with there in Indianapolis, Taylor.
Shannon GriffithHOST
In football, which just blows my mind that a liberal arts school, as liberal as Manchester is, is going to offer athletic scholarships.
Shannon GriffithHOST
So I'm waiting to hear the feedback from that.
