SPEARFISH, S.D. – Besting Heidi VanLishout's previous school record, senior Shayna Soderstrom blazed down the home stretch in 7.89 to set the new school record in the 60m dash. She also ran the second fastest time in the 200m dash, winning in 25.48. Meanwhile, sophomore Whitney Scott and freshman Hannah Hendrick went two and three in the pole vault, both clearing 11' 9.75". Those vaults are an NCAA DII National Championship provisional qualifying mark and ties them both at fourth all time on the top ten lists. These marks led the Black Hills State University women to a dominating team win, scoring 229 points. The next closet team had 87 points.

Behind Soderstrom in the 60m and 200m was freshman Breanne Fuller who took third in the 60m and second in the 200m. Sophomore Julette Goehring was third in the 200m. In the 400m, junior Zoe Langseth captured the win with a 60.38, while freshman Taylor Lundquist was close behind in second. Juniors Brittney Marosok and Katie Campbell took first and third, respectively in the 60m hurdles.
The 4x400m relay of Janae Bjorgum, Breanne Fuller, Cailey Roth, and Zoe Langseth ran 4:03.82 to win. That time is seventh fastest ever run at BHSU.

In the field, Campbell moved to fifth all time, taking second in the triple jump after leaping 36' 6.75". Senior Alexandra Richards won the high jump in 5' 3.75", and took third in the shot put with a toss of 38' 11.5". Freshman Kyla Sawvell won the shot in 41' 5.00", and took second in the weight with a hurl of 53" 7.00". That throw moves her to sixth all time.

In the distance events, freshman Erika Dykstra won the 800 meters, while sophomore Mayson Hudyma was second. Junior Abbie Fredrick ran alone in the mile to win in 5:10.18, while senior Savannah Davis ran to third place.

On Friday night, the Distance Medley Relay, consisting of seniors Jonah Theisen and Levi Fried and juniors Jordan Theisen and Tristan Hepp, ran 10:03.69. That time is the sixth fastest in school history, the fastest ever run by a BHSU squad in the Donald E Young Center Fieldhouse, and is a NCAA DII provisional mark. That time converts down to 9:49.99 with the track size and altitude conversion, which is currently seventh in the nation. Twelve teams will make it into the National Championships.

The 5k was also contested, and the Green and Gold picked up two wins. Junior Nicole Allerdings and redshirt freshman Xiomara Robinson ran against the clock to take first and second respectively. Facing a larger field, sophomore Keith Osowski ran his first ever collegiate indoor 5k to pick up the win in an unofficial time of 15:47.
