The John Carroll men's track & field team -- or at least a portion of it -- competed in the first meet of the outdoor season Saturday. The competition was the Muskie Duals hosted by Muskingum University in chilly and wet New Concord, Ohio.

With primarily distance runners and throwers making the trip, the Blue Streaks won three of the five dual meet competitions which were staged.
