The UMaine track team has had two meets canceled this season already due to the inclement weather. The Black Bears’ home meet that was canceled twice was tentatively rescheduled for this weekend, but according to Laura Reed, the Media Relations Assistant for UMaine, the lone home meet that was to hosted by the Black Bears is most likely not going to be rescheduled. The Black Bears will be at Central Connecticut State this weekend.
