SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The University of Louisville men's and women's track and field teams won the Notre Dame Invitational Wednesday afternoon. The men won with 128 points, while the women tallied a score of 121.5 in the triangular meet which also featured host Notre Dame and Pittsburgh.

"We are grateful for the efforts the coaching staff and administration at Notre Dame put into hosting today," said UofL head coach Dale Cowper. "We also owe the faculty at UofL our gratitude for continuing to work with our students as scheduling adjustments arise. Our squads were able to get great work in during our trip to South Bend and while there were some standout performances, our focus was simply upon continuing to gain fitness as we move toward the ACC Championships in February. Our goal is simply to maintain heath while we gain fitness this winter and the team took a big step toward that goal today."
