Mikkola, 9 Trackmen Begin Opening Lap of English Trip

Jaakko Mikkola and nine top track men board a train for New Haven today on the first lap of their trip to England, where they meet squads from Cambridge and Oxford.

While abroad, the Crimson team will also meet competitors from the Dublin University, in that city, and the Northern Ireland University at Belfast.
