Well, things did not go Marquette’s way at the 2021 Big East Outdoor Track & Field Championships this weekend.
Things went well for the Golden Eagles, as we’ll get to in a minute, but they didn’t go MU’s way. The women’s team finished sixth in the Big East meet with 84 team points, falling well short of the 197.50 points compiled by 2021 champion Villanova. Over on the men’s side, newcomer Connecticut rampaged through the competition with 294 total team points, winning by a 172 point margin over second place Georgetown. The Golden Eagles finished in fifth with 93 points.
