Spearfish, SD – The Black Hills State University men's and women's track and field teams both picked up the team win at the Myrle Hanson Open. The women handily won the competition with 233 points and 11 event wins. The men took the team title with 137 points and six event wins.

The women's squad was led by two NCAA provisionally qualifying marks from Whitney Scott and Kyla Sawvell. Scott, who won the pole vault clearing 12' - 06.25", moved to second all time in school history and is currently ninth in the country. Sawvell improved her previous provo mark in the weight throw with a toss of 59' - 07.00". She remains third in school history and moved to 12^th in the nation. That mark won the meet and she also picked up a win in the shot put.

"Scott obviously had a great vault," said head coach Seth Mischke. "But across the board, the team looked solid. There are always areas to tweak, but I was impressed with some of the performances today."
