SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Northern Colorado wrapped up the combined events on Day 2 of the Big Sky Outdoor Track & Field Championships with more personal bests and season highs, as Ryan Pollyea and Jameson Rembert closed out the men's decathlon, while Ciara Piffarerio completed her seven-event slate in the women's heptathlon.

Pollyea capped a strong overall performance with two personal bests on Day 2. He ran a lifetime-best 15.86 in the 110m hurdles to place fifth and clocked a PR of 4:54.65 in the 1500m for fourth. Pollyea also registered a new personal best in the javelin, tossing 41.48m (136' 1") to take eighth.

Rembert turned in a season-best throw of 44.38m (145' 7") in the javelin, finishing fifth in the event. He also ran 16.37 in the 110m hurdles and recorded a season-best time of 5:21.19 in the 1500m. Rembert cleared 3.00m (9' 10") in the pole vault to round out his competition.

Piffarerio completed her Big Sky heptathlon with a strong finish in the 800m, clocking 2:34.99 for 11th place. She posted marks of 4.71m (15' 5.5") in the long jump and 18.10m (59' 4") in the javelin to wrap up her competition.
