GV track and cross country hire new assistant coach

Former Grand Valley State University All-American Nick Polk is returning to his alma mater.

The holder of three GVSU records, Polk will assist men’s and women’s cross country coach Jerry Baltes this season.

This was Baltes’ second coaching hire of the offseason, as he also hired former Ashland Univerity All-American Blaine Maag as an assistant. Polk will work with the men’s and women’s cross country as well as the track team, working primarily with the distance runners.
