The Vandals come off of a successful first weekend after taking home five individual medals at the Spokane Sports Showcase on January 12th.

Noah Culbertson and Mia Sylvester both hold the Big Sky Conference's top spots for the men's and women's shot put after their gold medal performances at the 2024 Spokane Sports Showcase. 

Culbertson won the men's shot put, tossing 17.45m. He looks to defend his dominance this weekend after winning the men's shot put at last year's Lauren McCluskey Memorial.

Sylvester showed her 2023 Indoor and Outdoor Big Sky titles weren't a fluke last weekend with a 15.27m mark. Sylvester enters this year's Lauren McCluskey Memorial with the best marks in the shot put and weight throw.

Camryn Crouch and Jana Willems headline the women's 60m dash for the Vandals. Crouch looks to re-write the Vandal record books in her senior campaign. Her entry time of 7.45 is just 0.01 behind Angela Whyte's 2003 record. Willems, a freshman, ran a personal best 7.63 at last week's Spokane Sports Showcase, the sixth fastest time in Idaho history and the third-best in the Big Sky this year.

The women's 200m slate includes three Vandals in the top five. Crouch's school record of 24.13 is the No. 1 entry time while Olivia Martin's 24.58 is the third-best entry time and fourth in Idaho history. Prabhasha Wickramaraachchi's 25.01 is seeded at fifth. 

Seniors Jemini Archer and Jurrian Hering open the 60m dash with the fifth and eighth entry times, respectively. Hering's 6.80 at last week's Spokane Sports Showcase was tied for the fastest in the conference this year and fourth in Vandal history, while Archer's personal best 6.85 is fifth.

Spencer Barrera is the reigning Lauren McCluskey and Big Sky Indoor Champion in the men's 400m. The senior enters this year's Lauren McCluskey Memorial with the No. 1 seed time of 46.60. Vandal sophomore, Jon Watkins is seeded tenth (49.33) for the men's 400m.

On the women's side, the Vandals stack up the 400m entries. Senior Martin holds the No. 1 entry time while Wickramaraachchi stands at third. Franziska Stoehr, Rhyan Madden, and Adeline Wimer are seeded six through eight in that order.

Zac Bright enters the weekend with the No. 2 entry time in the men's 600m. Bright won last year's 600m (1:19.17) at the Lauren McCluskey Memorial. 

Lorenz Herrmann headlines the men's 800m following his gold medal finish at last week's Spokane Sports Showcase. Herrmann ran a 1:50.62, the ninth fastest in the NCAA this season. Zac Bright (1:49.80) and Gage Zanette (1:50.86) hold the third and fourth seeds, respectively.

Belen Garcia Arias, Olivia Martin, Franziska Stoehr, and Prabhasha Wickramaraachchi enter the women's 4x400m relay as the top seed (3:44.18).

The men's 4x400m relay squad of Jemini Archer, Spencer Barrera, Deyondre Davis, and Jon Watkins also hold the first entry time at 3:11.32.
