Emma swept the discus and shot put to earn a total of 14 points for the Wildcats and co-MVP honors at the 3rd annual Jim Boulanger Invitational that was held April 4 at UNH's Reggie F. Atkins Track Facility. The sophomore thrower helped the Wildcats to a first-place team finish.

She was also atop the shot put leaderboard from beginning to end with a mark of 12.76m on her first attempt and then recording the winning throw of 14.07m (46-2) in the third round.

Gunnar won both the long jump and high jump at the 3rd Annual Jim Boulanger Invitational to earn 14 points and co-MVP honors. The junior jumps specialist helped the Wildcats to a first-place team finish.
Gunnar began his day with a first-place effort of 6.69m (21-11.5) as the Wildcats took the top three spots in the long jump. He climbed from the runner-up position to the top of the leaderboard with that winning leap in the third round.
