Cardinals' Last Action:
It was a day of firsts for the Saint Mary's University track and field teams last Saturday, as first-year head coach Niels Anderson got his first chance to see his Cardinals in action at the first indoor meet of the season, the SMU Early Birdinal. And SMU's first impressions certainly put a smile on the face on the Cardinal head coach, as both Cardinal teams placed third in their only home meet of the season.

Up Next:
The Cardinals are back in action, and back on the road, next Saturday, as SMU heads to Menomonie, Wis., to compete in the UW-Stout Warren Bowlus Invitational.
