SPEARFISH, S.D. – Poor forecasts across the region has pushed the Tom Benich Invite, hosted at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado, to Sunday. Action begins Sunday morning on Nottingham Field at 10:00 am with the men's javelin and hammer throw. Running events kick off at 11:00 am with the 10-kilometer race.

"The weather and competition really look great this Sunday," said head coach Seth Mischke. "After last weekend I know the team was already itching to get back at it. Hopefully we capitalize on this opportunity."

The outdoor season is short and fast. With the RMAC championships less than a month away, the conference performance lists are starting to shape up as formidable. Currently senior Jake Iverson and sophomore Keith Osowski sit atop the steeplechase lists at one and two, respectively. Junior Seth Kovar is third in the 110m hurdles, while senior Ryan Olsen is also third in the decathlon. In the high jump, junior Tristan Hepp is fourth, while sophomores Drazen Moratzka and Allan McDonnell are tied for seventh. Sophomore Seth Hills is fourth in the 400m hurdles, while junior Taylor Hepp sits fifth in the 400m. At ninth in both the 800m and 1500m is junior Jordan Theisen.

The Yellow Jacket women are looking strong in the field events after their first week of competition. Freshman Kyla Sawvell is third in the discus, fourth in hammer throw, and fifth in the shot put. Junior Danielle Noble is ninth in the discus. Senior Alexandra Richards is currently third in the javelin and ninth in the high jump. Sitting tied for fifth in the pole vault is sophomore Whitney Scott and freshman Hannah Hendrick.

On the track, seniors Cailey Roth and Nicole Davis lead the way. Davis is currently eighth in the 5k, while Roth is ninth in the 800m.

Last weekend at the Yellow Jacket Spring Open three athletes broke into the Top Ten all-time lists at BHSU. Check those performances out here: https://bhsuathletics.com/sb_output.aspx?form=1009
