STORRS, Conn. - Sophomore Benjamin Grosse won the UConn Multi-Event Challenge by scoring 4920 points during the two-day Heptathlon at Greer Fieldhouse.
Grosse closed the competition with the 60M Hurdles, pole vault and 1000M events. The Wayzata, Minn. native place fourth in the hurdles (8.91) and second in the pole vault (3.45M) before finishing in first place in the 1000MÂ (2:48.69).
"We got a lot of work done this past spring and fall during training," said Grosse. "Coach and I were really excited where I'm at....I had five PR's, tied a PR and came close to a PR in my 1000. We will take those things, build and work on them to be better for the next time out."
The men's track and field team returns to action at the Beantown Challenge on Saturday, Jan. 12 in Cambridge, Mass.
