JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Northeastern Huskies had four members of the program in action during day one of the first round of the NCAA Championships.

Nicole Genard, Jacilyn Briggs, Kyle Darrow and Paul Duffey all had excellent outings in their respective events. 
 
Genard was the first Husky to compete, representing the program in the javelin throw. Her top mark of 45.40 meters earned her 25th place. After opening tosses of 42.65 and 38.54 meters, on her final throw Genard recorded her best mark of the day. 

Next up for NU was Briggs, who was competing in the pole vault. The junior captain entered the first round of the NCAA Championships after an outstanding performance at the ECAC Championships two weeks ago. She finished in 43rd place after recording a jump of 3.78 meters. 
 
The field events wrapped up for NU as Darrow competed in the long jump. The sophomore has been outstanding all season long and had another strong showing on Thursday, finishing 21st overall with a jump of 7.33 meters.
 
The final Husky to compete on Thursday was Duffey in the 800-meter run. The Hanson, Massachusetts, native was making his second trip to the NCAA Championships this year and earned a 32nd-place finish with a strong time of 1:49.40.
 
In the long jump, javelin throw and pole vault, the top 12 advance to the finals, while in the 800-meter run the top 24 move on.
