Bears Set Six School Records and Nine Podium Finishes
BOZEMAN, Mont. – Jerome Campbell earned Big Sky Most Valuable Athlete at the Big Sky Conference Track & Field Outdoor Championships Saturday.
"I thought we battled hard and represented Northern Colorado today," Director of Track & Field / Cross Country Wayne Angel said. "We ended up with six school records and an athlete that won the Big Sky Most Valuable Athlete award.
The Bears set six school records and tallied nine podium finishes, with Campbell rewriting two school records, while Edgar Garcia, Regina Mpigachai and Wendira Moss climbed the podium twice each.
Campbell ran the fastest 100-meter and 200-meter dash times in program history. He won silver in the 200m.
Alexia Austin secured a bronze medal with a school record in the 100-meter Hurdles.
Wendira Moss posted the fastest time in the 400m in school history, placing third. She corralled a second bronze medal in the 200m.
Zach Wells inked the fastest time in the men's 1500m. Mpigachai matched the feat on the women's side, doubling up on silver medals, adding on in the 800-meter dash too.
Edgar Garcia secured bronze medals in both the 100m and 200m.
The quartet of August Van De Weijer, Donovan Castillo, Abdul Razak and Jesse Hayward finished third in the 4x400m Relay.
"We were having the best meet ever on the men's side until we had the mishap in the 4x100 relay that caused us to lose eight points," Angel said. "Overall, we came to compete, and we did that. I am enormously proud of our student-athletes."
