Together in competition for the first time this season, the Bowling Green track team placed fifth out of nine teams at the BGSU challenge, held Saturday at Perry Fieldhouse. Eight Falcon athletes finished in the top five of their respective events with Whitney Hartman (weight throw) capturing the lone Bowling Green victory.
