KINGSTOWN, R.I.

Many Huskies took their usual top spots, while freshman Jennifer Rogers (Parksville, B.C.) earned her first win with a time of 59.66 in the 400 meter dash.
Junior April Garner (Temple Hills, MD) took first in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 8.14, and senior Nicola Hines (Bridgeport, CT) won the 500-meter dash for the second consecutive week with a time of 1:17.80.
In the field events, Amy Parkosewich (Bethlehem, CT) won the weight throw and freshman Daisy VanRavenswaay (Ontario, Canada) won the shot put as both took the top spot in those events for the second week in a row. Deirdre Mullen (Princeton, NJ) once again dominated in the high jump, winning the event with a mark of 5-8.75.
The team will return to action on Friday, January 30 when they travel to the Northeastern Husky Invitational.
