PRINCETON, N.J. — The NJIT track and field teams took their talents to Central Jersey this weekend, participating in the Princeton University Larry Ellis Invitational this weekend.

HIGHLANDER HIGHLIGHTS

The top showings from the two NJIT teams came from Jordan Lindinger-Asamoah, Jacob Leigh, Hayley Lucido, and Sanai Jenkins
Lindinger-Asamoah earned NJIT's lone victory at the meet, winning the Triple Jump with a leap of 14.25m / 46-9.00 for his first career outdoor win.
