Track Notes

- Bringing a varied repertoire to the sport, Freshman Joe Wiggins has excelled in events from long and triple jumping to sprints and distance events. Hence, this week’s MIP. Other top improvements came from Bienkowski and Cocheekaran in the 800, and Bailey and Mattiace in the 400. Of course, record breakers Mendez and Yoon are to be acknowledged as well.

- Our 35 medals gives us a season total of 213
