HANOVER, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire men's track & field team traveled to Hanover, New Hampshire on Friday to compete in the Dartmouth Relays. The Wildcats sent several field athletes to compete against some of the region's top talent.
Sophomore Nate Hobbs (Peabody, Mass.) was the top scorer in both the long jump and the triple jump. His long jump mark of 23'10" was the top finish of collegiate performers, and a new personal best in the indoor long jump. In the triple jump he went 47'5". His career best in the triple jump came this past December in UNH's opening meet.
Senior Zachary Astle (Newbury, N.H.) set a new personal best in the weight throw, winning the event with a distance of 65'6". His cleared his previous personal best by about a foot (64'1".)
Astle also took first in the shot put with a distance of 54'4". Also scoring in the throws was Junior Jacob Dearborn (Wolfeboro, N.H.) who took fifth in the weight throw with a distance of 48'10", and sixth in the shot put with a distance of 47'5".
Kevin McGrath (Hopkinton, N.H.) took first in the high jump with a height of 6'5"; his personal best was set earlier this season in UNH's season-opening meet, where he just barely missed the school record, jumping 6'8.25".
The Wildcats finished fourth in the team scores with just their 53 points; Dartmouth took first with 114.
UP NEXT:
The Wildcats return home next Saturday, January 18 to host Holy Cross in a home meet at 11 A.M. in the Paul Sweet Oval.
