NAPERVILLE, Ill. -- A handful of top-10 performances helped guide the North Park track & field team to a solid showing at North Central's First Chance Meet on Friday, April 7.

The meet was highlighted by freshman Maria Bugge breaking NPU's Hammer School Record that was set by Mia Riccolo four years ago. Bugge finished 6th overall with a mark of 45.81m (150'3") which is now 16^th in the Midwest across Division III track and field.
