The Rutgers track and field program won three gold medals and totaled 14 podium finishes at last weekend’s Big Ten Outdoor Championships in Minneapolis, Minnesota. For a program clearly making forward strides under Bobby Farrell, Director of Track & Field and Cross Country, it was a positive performance overall despite the men finishing in a tie for tenth place and the women finishing in twelfth place.
“Although we didn’t get the point total we were after, this was our strongest performance,” said Farrell. “We set two records, got three golds, made the most finals, doubled our podium finishes and tripled the number of times we placed in the top 15.
