Chapman Runs With the Invaders
   Former Ferris State women’s track and field middle-distance runner Katie Chapman has joined the Indiana Invaders. The Invaders are a team comprised of elite athletes who compete in USA Track and Field National Championship competitions in cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field along with the marathon.
   A three-time NCAA Division II All-America honoree, Chapman presently holds school records in both the indoor and outdoor 800-meter events at Ferris State. The University’s 2000-01 Most Valuable Indoor and Outdoor Track Athlete placed third overall in the 800 meters while recording the program’s highest all-time individual finish at the 2002 NCAA-II Indoor Track and Field Championships. She also ranks first in the 4x800-meter relay and second in the outdoor 1,500-meter run among the school’s all-time performers to date.
   According to Invaders Team Director Greg Harger, “Chapman has the enthusiasm and talent to make an impact in short order. It’s great to add someone of her talent to the roster. She knows what she wants to accomplish, and she’s willing to make the sacrifices required to get the job done.”
   Chapman, who also competed in women’s cross country at Ferris State, concluded her collegiate eligibility during the 2001-02 campaign.
   In 2001, the Invaders claimed the USA National Track and Field Championship, the Women’s National Track and Field Club title and the Women’s National Cross Country Club Championship in its third full year of competition.
