The Men’s Track and Field team placed 2nd at the Varsity Level at the Greg Foster Invitational and 3rd at the Fresh/Soph Level this Saturday. Why is none of that being addressed? Also, it is good you recognized Brian and Michael, however, many other athletes placed top 3 and they deserve to be recognized too.
