Dartmouth College announces Big Green Travel to the City of Brotherly Love for Ivy League Heps

HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth men's track and field team makes the trip to Philadelphia this weekend for the 2023 Ivy League Outdoor Heptagonal Championships at Penn's Franklin Field.

The first day of competition is slated to begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday, with day two's events scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. on Sunday. The Big Green have seen much success this season, breaking a program record while there have been numerous top 10 program marks.

Jake Dalton leads the way for Dartmouth, having broken the program hammer throw record on two occasions. He first broke the record at the Hurricane Collegiate Invitational (Mar. 25) at Miami, before topping the mark two weeks later at the Duke Invitational.

J'Voughnn Blake boasts a time of 1:48.42 in the 800m race, running that in just his second collegiate outdoor meet at the Hurricane Collegiate Invitational. That time is good for third in program history.

Nils Wildberg jumped to a personal best distance of 7.51m in the long jump at the UConn Northeast Challenge, the second-best mark in program history. Max Klein threw for a PR of 18.00m in the shot put at the George Davis Invitational, moving up to second in program history.
