RESULTS
DURHAM, N.H. – Nine Wildcats each won an event as the University of New Hampshire men's track and field team placed first at the Jim Boulanger Invitational at the Reggie Atkins Track and Field Facility at Wildcat Stadium on Senior Day.
"Despite some cold and wet weather, we had a great day today at the second annual Jim Boulanger Invitational," said Anna Magle-Haberek, Director of Cross Country / Track & Field. "It was great to see so many alumni come back and run in the alumni mile as well as stay to cheer on our team. Being able to honor our seniors was also wonderful today. We had quite a few individual champions as well as tremendous performances and individual PRs. We were happy to bring home a win for both the men and women. We are looking forward to a busy week next week travelling to meets on four days and really getting into our outdoor season."
