Led by 14 top-five finishes, including victories in the hammer throw, 110-meter hurdles, pole vault and 4x100-meter relay, the Northeastern men's team finished first overall at the Tufts Snowflake Classic last weekend.

Milder earns CAA accolades
Northeastern track and field's
Max Milder picked up the Huskies' second straight CAA accolade on Tuesday when the junior was named the CAA Men's Field Athlete of the Week.
Milder led the Huskies to a team championship at the Snowflake Classic last weekend at Tufts thanks to his first place finish in the hammer throw. His heave of 60.47-meters bested the field by nearly three meters and qualified the East Greenwich, R.I. native for both the IC4A and New England Championships later this season.
Milder's throw last weekend is currently the 13th best mark in the nation this season, and tops in the CAA.
Milder joins teammates
Kaylin Miranda and
Nia Howard, who earned male and female field athletes of the week last Tuesday.
