WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army West Point women's track and field team travels to Northeastern University for the Joe Donohue Games at the Reggie Lewis Center on Friday.
"We felt like this meet would be a good opportunity for us to get everyone some experience," said Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Mike Smith. "We're looking forward to putting some of our athletes in some off events while still keeping others in their main events. This will be a good opportunity for us to go up against some of the top teams in the Northeast."
This will be the first scored meet of the season for the Black Knights after having already competed in three unscored meets. The season started with the Crowell Open at Gillis Field House in December and was followed by the Penn State Relays and Virginia Tech Invitational after the New Year.
The highlight of the season so far has been the team's youth. Through the three meets, there have been 13 freshmen or sophomores that have placed in the top-five in their events, including seven top finishes.
The most recent of those winning performances came from Virginia Tech this past weekend when Briyah Brown won the shot put with a distance of 14.01 meters. The 4x800 relay team of Abby Halbrook, Cassie Mundekis, Payton Padgett and Courtney Dooley that took second at Penn State with the second-fastest time in the program's history.
The meet is scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. in Boston.
