In addition to Nott and  Murnane, accompanying the team will be Benj Ecker, a seminary student  and team chaplain, and Rob Lowe, a seminary student and assistant coach.<\/p>\n<p>The trip also will be educational. The teams will hear from the mayor of  Clinton, Tennessee. Clinton High was the first school in the state years  ago to desegregate following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling against  segregation. Violence followed, which led to the National Guard policing  the city.<\/p>\n<p>Nott says the track teams will compete in a meet at Austin Peay  University in Clarksville, Tennessee, on the return trip. He&#8217;s not  expecting any records to be broken, with the team having worked all  week. &#8220;We&#8217;re just trying to go have fun,&#8221; says Nott.<\/p>\n<p>The trip will cost each athlete $150. Much of the money for the trip  comes from half the proceeds of an event in December during which 21  members of the track and cross country teams raised funds by taking  turns on treadmills for 24 hours. To read an account of that effort,  please see <a href=\"http:\/\/old.covchurch.org\/cov\/news\/item4641.html\">Runners Push the  Limits to Help Others.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The teams will leave the evening of March 12 and return March 18. They  also will be traveling with the school&#8217;s rowing team, which will take  the opportunity to get in some warm-weather practice as well.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the men&#8217;s track team participating in the trip are Kevin  Adams, Matt Cappetta, Aaron Clark, Luke Johnson, Don Fancher, Weston  Gleffe, Matthew Shilling, Jon Wikholm, and James Williams.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the women&#8217;s team are Ashley Edwards, Jessica Gilligan, Amy  Peters, Juliann Plimpton, Liz Poczaski, Casandra Quiram, and Allison Weller.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">Copyright \u00a9 2011 The Evangelical Covenant Church.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/newswire?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=7866&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHICAGO, IL (March 3, 2006) &#8211; Sixteen members of the North Park University track teams will travel to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, over Spring break to get in some warm-weather training as well as work with Habitat for Humanity.
