DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire men's track & field team continues the 2018-19 indoor track schedule with two meets this weekend in both Boston and in Durham.
A squad of runners will travel down to Boston University for the John Thomas Terrier Invitational, with men's track events beginning Saturday morning at 11:30 A.M.
A total of eight Wildcats will run at the Terrier Invitational: fifth-year seniors Timothy Kenefick (Guilford, Conn.) and Thomas Harter (Hamtpon, N.H.), seniors William Ulrich (Mineola, N.Y.) and Brett Hoerner (Manchester, N.H.), juniors Matthew Adams (Concord, N.H.), and Aaron Dobe (Contoocook, N.H.), and sophomores Aidan Sullivan (Nashua, N.H.) and James Wilkes (Concord, N.H.).

FROM THE COACH:
On the Terrier Invitational: "They [the UNH runners] want the chance to run on a fast track, and see if they can match their indexes."
On the home tri-meet: "The field [athletes] here should be pretty good… it covers all the good events. Last year the meet was pretty competitive in the middle distance races, as well."
- Head Coach Jim Boulanger
