The University of Iowa men’s track team had athletes competing in two meets this weekend. A number of throwers competed in the New Balance Collegiate Invite in New York, NY, while the majority of the team competed in the Meyo Invitational hosted by Notre Dame.

Sophomore Jake Berns took home the only gold for the Hawkeye men during the weekend. He won the mile in a personal best time of 4:07.43. In all, 14 student-athletes set personal bests in the two meets.
