Please get your facts straight. Grand Valley is in Western Michigan. It is a relatively new school, used to be a community college/Jr. college. Not a great academic school, but is getting better. They tend to draw exclusively from the local area. Western Michigan is populated by a large Dutch and German descent...(tall, strong kids) . Also is a very rural area with a predominantly blue collar make-up (farmers, tool & die, manufacturing). They have a very strong work ethic and is in the heart of the bible belt. Add all of this up, and you can see why they have a very strong sports program. Football team has won the D2 championship many years.

You are absolutely right. I guess they are launching a Physician Assistant program, and somehow that wound up on my google searches as GVSU PA. Sorry. (Plus a hit to Grand Valley Penn.).

Anyway, the original point is that the weather doesn't explain their competitive advantage, as they are in even worse position for outdoor winter training than we are.
