The New York University men's track & field team competed at the Terrier Invitational, hosted by Boston University in Boston, MA, on Saturday, January 25.

Meanwhile, in the distance races, senior Ben Karam (New York, NY/Xavier) led the Violets with a 45th-place finish in the mile in a personal-best 4:15.31.

In the field events, sophomore Owen Mountford (Mountain View, CA/Mountain View ) had NYU's top marks in the shot put and weight throw. His mark of 13.34m was good for 23rd place in the shot, and he threw 13.25m in the weight throw (27th place).
