Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
What looks like a 10-ring circus or total chaos is actually a well organized event. It's the Joe Banks Invitational held at the Sports Center on Saturday.
ONU won among the 15 teams!
Hundreds of competitors and officials were on hand for the indoor track and field events from 11 a.m. until early evening.

While weight throw was going on in one corner, sprinters were running the track, and pole vaulters were headed skyward in the middle of the Sports Center.
It's a day for records to be set, individual best times to be made, and team points to be tallied to see who was the best. For 2016, the best was ONU as a team.
