BUFFALO, N.Y. – The University at Buffalo track and field team will squeeze in one last regular season meet as they will travel to SUNY Geneseo one last time for the 2021 season. The Bulls will compete at the Geneseo May Meet on Saturday, May 1 with the first event starting at noon. The team competed at the Geneseo Roundtable Invitational on April 9 and 10. Due to last week's high winds, the Bulls will look to improve their times in preparation of the Mid-American Conference Championships next weekend.
