ST. PAUL, Minn. – Members of the Saint John's track and field team competed at the St. Thomas Twilight on Thursday, April 13, at Hamline's Klas Field in St. Paul.

St. Thomas' outdoor track within O'Shaughnessy Stadium is out of commission this spring for competition, and due for a resurface this summer, so the track meet was moved to Hamline. The javelin throw was held at nearby Concordia-St. Paul. Team scores were not calculated.
