BOSTON – For the second consecutive year, the Huskies' track and field team swept the New England Championships, both men's and women's took first place on Saturday.

Coach's Take:

"What a phenomenal day. Both of our teams competed their heart out and I could not be prouder. On the men's side, the win came down to the last two events and our guys did everything they could. On the women's side, they were so strong and really had some great performances. They were amazing and no one gave up or stopped pressing. So many people competed well. They really brought their heart and I am truly grateful for each and every one of them." – Head Coach Cathrine Erickson
