WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's track and field team entered the outdoor season on the heels of a league indoor season championship and they were hungry for more. Competing at the Purdue Invitational in West Lafayette, Ind. the Panther men had outstanding performances, but the day belonged to Jeremy Majors and Ben Uphoff.
Majors and Uphoff, both freshmen distance runners, came into the weekend looking to shine. Questionable weather aside, they both achieved their goal. Majors ran the 800-meter run to a first-place time of 1:54.76. Uphoff, from New London, ran his way to a win in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 15:28.27.
The underclassmen's performance was just a catapult to a good day for the Panther men. Eric Gresham, competing in the 400-meter run, gave a solid performance by finishing second with a time of 49.95. Joining Majors in the 800-meter run were Gabe Wagoner, Adam Swanson and Elliot Enright. Wagoner claimed second with a time of 1:55.51 while Swanson and Enright finished fourth and fifth. Ryne Leuzinger finished fourth behind Uphoff in the 5,000-meter run.
