STANDISH, Maine – The Saint Joseph's College men's track & field team produced a strong showing on Senior Day at the Monks Track & Field Invite on Saturday, highlighted by three event victories, multiple DIII New England qualifying performances, and several standout efforts across the track and field events.

"Today was a special day honoring our seniors and the individual growth they've shown over the past four years," said Saint Joseph's head coach Mike Burleson. "Their effort and commitment have been a key part of elevating our program.

"We brought good energy and took advantage of competing on our home track. With multiple strong performances across events including school and stadium records it's a great sign we are doing the right things at the right time of year."
