The Brandeis men's track and field team had a strong showing this weekend across two separate meets — the Regis Spring Invitational and the Amherst Spring Fling. The team took advantage of beautiful weather at Regis, posting several personal bests and strong finishes, while also battling cold and rainy conditions at Amherst to turn in gritty performances. Across both meets, the Judges recorded multiple Division III New England qualifying marks and showed depth in events ranging from sprints and distance to jumps and throws, continuing to build momentum in the outdoor season.
