Bulldog women, men bring home victories

Men’s This weekend the men’s track and field team competed in Menomonie, Wisconsin in the Warren Bowlus Open, coming away with multiple top-five finishes from veterans and rookies alike.

Freshman Frank Deluca finished at the front of the 400-meter dash with a final time of 51.21 seconds. He would also be a part of the Bulldogs 4x400 meter relay team that finished first in their field.

Senior Phil d’Entremont was also a part of that champion 4x400 relay and finished second in the 600-meter dash while his teammate freshman Garrett Benz came in just under a second behind him for a third-place finish. Benz and fellow freshman Connor Behm rounded out the relay team.

Sophomore Jason Lilja came home as the meet’s high jump champion as he reached 6'-04.75".
