Indoor track:
The men’s and women’s indoor track teams opened their indoor track season on Dec. 1 in the Monmouth Indoor Season Opener at OceanFirst Bank Center. The men finished first place in the three team field, defeating Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) rivals Rider and Saint Peter’s. The women finished second, falling to Rider but besting Saint Peter’s. “First meets are a great opportunity to see where we are at as a team, and to see what we need to work on,” Monmouth Head Coach Joe Compagni said. “I know that we will work to get better in many ways in the weeks ahead, but we have many sprinters, jumpers and throwers that put together some very strong first meet performances today.” Both teams were also chosen by the MAAC to repeat as conference champions in their preseason polls. Both the men and women will next compete in the Princeton New Year Invite on Sunday, Dec. 11.
Bowling:
The women’s bowling team earned their first ever ranking in the National Tenpin Coaches Association Poll, placing ninth. The team finished their fall schedule with an 18-6 record and return to action on Jan. 13 at the three-day Mid-Winter Invite at Jonesboro Bowling Center in Jonesboro, AR.
