NEWARK, Del. -- The University of Delaware women's outdoor track & field squad cruised to the team title as the Blue Hens won 10 events at the Delaware Open at blustery Stuart & Suzanne Grant Stadium Saturday afternoon.
The annual meet drew 30 intercollegiate and club teams and nearly 500 athletes from all three NCAA divisions and junior college.
“This was a great day for the Blue Hens today,” said Delaware head coach Wendy McFarlane. “It was a windy day but we got the job done. We had some stellar performances today to set the stage as we 
come closer to the CAA championship. Thanks to all the teams, spectators, and alumni who came out to support this event. We look forward to hosting this event again next year.”
