Boston, Mass. - The Boston College women's track team competed in the Valentine Invitational on Friday and Saturday on the campus of Boston University at the Indoor Track and Tennis Center. The Eagles had one individual win, and six top-five finishes.
Junior Caroline King provided the only individual victory of the day for Boston College as she won the one mile run with a time of 4:41.33. King has now won an event in each of the last four meets Boston College has competed in. Her time of 4:41.33 is the second fastest indoor mile time in the ACC this season, and it is also the second fastest indoor mile time in Boston College history.
