TYSON INVITE RESULTS |
BRONCO CHALLENGE RESULTS
NAMPA, Idaho – The Idaho indoor track and field teams split up this weekend, with Vandals wrapping up competition at the Tyson Invitational and the Bronco Challenge.
"I thought it was a solid weekend. We had quite a few PRs and quite a few season bests. And a lot of people who didn't quite get to those personal or season bests were just under," said director of track and field and cross country
Tim Cawley. "I think our performances this weekend just shows that we have a lot of consistency going into conference. Our averages are pretty high at this point in the season and I think there's a lot of excitement building towards the conference championships in two weeks. I think we're in a great place."
Several Vandals put up impressive performances at the Bronco Challenge on Saturday.
Krista Story finished second in the 800m in a time of 2:13.19.
Anna Pecha took fifth (2:14.75) and
Faith Dilmore was eighth (2:17.81) in the event. On the men's side,
Jenner Higgins was second (1:54.67) and
Josiah Anderson was third (1:54.70) which was a season's best time.
