Justin Freeman Sprints To Indoor 200-Meet School Record At GVSU Tune-Up

Hope College's Justin Freeman added another school record to his list of achievements with the Hope College men's track & field team.

Freeman won the 200-meter final that featured runners from NCAA Division I, II and III competitors. He was clocked at 22.28 seconds, but his time was adjusted because of the style of GVSU's track.
