KINGSTON, R.I. – The University of New Hampshire men's track & field team took on the University of Rhode Island coaches tribute meet in preparation for their appearance at the America East indoor championships taking place later this month.

With no team scores being recorded, the Wildcats aimed to improve their best marks and get one more practice meet in before the conference championships, just two weekends away. The Wildcats were led by their two individual event winners; sophomore Jordan Buckmire (Nashua, N.H.) took first in the triple jump with a best mark of 47 feet, seven inches, just missing his personal best by three inches. Buckmire also finished top-five in the long jump, taking fourth with a distance of 20'8.5".

On the track, senior Brett Hoerner (Manchester, N.H.) took first in the 800 meter run, with a time of 1 minutes, 56.71 seconds. He was followed up by sophomore Aidan Sullivan (Nashua, N.H.) in third in 1:58.01.

UP NEXT:
After a week off, the Wildcats head back to Boston University for the 2018-19 America East Indoor Track & Field Championships on Friday, February 22 to Saturday, Feb. 23.
