This is also the weekend that UMass is hosting the Atlantic 10 Outdoor Track & Field Championship. The meet will be held at the new track which is about 150yds from Lot 33.

I bet one of the big shot putters/discus throwers/hammer throwers could wreck shop in the tire throwing contest!!!

This is going to be a busy weekend.

Did they still have it, or did they do a rain date? It's raining off and on in W. Springfield.

Just found the regional forums, I'll have to go next year:-/
