CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - The 11th-ranked Wisconsin men's track and field team traveled to Cedar Falls, Iowa, to compete in the Jack Jennett Open on Friday.
Redshirt sophomore
Austin Glynn was the standout for the Badgers as he set a new personal record in the weight throw with a mark of 65 feet, 4 1/4 inches to win the event. This throw landed him a No. 5 spot on the Wisconsin all-time indoor performance list. Redshirt senior
Tucker Wedig came in right behind Glynn, claiming second place with a throw of 65-2. Two additional athletes, redshirt senior
Jamar Manning (fourth/61-4) and redshirt sophomore
Dan Ufearo (ninth/55-7), also placed in the top 10.
Four Badgers advanced to the 60-meter hurdle finals. Sophomore
