ST. PAUL, Minn.—The University of Northwestern track and field team runners made its first outdoor appearance of the season at Hamline University. The Eagles had taken time off for spring break and to train for the outdoor season and was finally granted an opportunity to compete outdoors in the state of Minnesota. Fresh out of the NCAA basketball tournament's Sweet 16, sophomore Cody Sprenger shot out of the gate and secured fourth place (49.81) in the men's 400-meter dash. Sprenger's time also shattered last year's top UNW 400-meter time by more than two seconds.
