GRAND FORKS, N.D. - The South Dakota State track and field teams came away victorious over North Dakota in a two-team dual on Saturday, Jan. 12. The Jackrabbit men outscored the Fighting Hawks 93-54 while the women edged UND 76-69 with 14 events scored each.

The men had 10 individual event winners and the 4x400m relay team while the women cracked five event champs and the 4x400m relay team. In order to win the team dual, the teams had a total of 28 personal-bests reset or tied (12 from the men, 16 from the women) and seven all-time school marks rewritten (six from the men, one from the women).

Though places 1-4 were scored with only a maximum of two scorers from each team, the Jackrabbits showed domination in several events - having multiple student-athletes in the top-three of 19 events (12 for the men, seven for the women).

Some notable events with Jackrabbits at the top of the leader board: 1-5 in the men's 60m, 2-5 in the women's 60m, 1-7 in the men's mile, 1-2 ... 4-5 in the women's mile, 2-8 in the men's 3,000m, 3-5 in the women's 3,000m, and 1-3 in the men's long jump.

Sophomore Coby Hilton (60m: second place, 6.90) highlighted the sprints section for the Jackrabbit men - trimming 0.07 seconds off of his previous personal-best in the 60m (set in 2018, tied at the SDSU Holiday) to move into a tie for the No. 5 all-time SDSU mark with fellow teammate Daniel Clarke. He followed that race up with his second career 200m win - a mark that is now the school record (200m: won, 21.41).

The indoor 200m school record had been reset only once since Edmund Estephane's 1994 mark (21.83) - reset by Luke Leischner in 2011 (21.82) - prior to the 2019 season. However, it has been reset twice in a little over a month - first with junior Sam Zenner's mark in the SDSU Holiday Invite (21.50) and now with Hilton's top mark (21.41).

Zenner won the 60m (6.79) for his third career win in event - 0.01 seconds off his PR and the school record - while freshman Emmanual Phoulom-Smith (third, 6.95) added his name to the busy 60m school top-10 list at No. 9 in his first career attempt in the Blue and Yellow. Five fresh marks have filled the 60m top-10 list in just two 2019 meets (school record: Zenner, No. 4: Jr. Landon Larson, T-No. 5: Clarke & Hilton, No. 9: Phoulom-Smith).

For the women's sprint section, junior Miatta Flemister-Smith (200m: won, 25.11) re-wrote another top-10 mark - this time in the 200m - as she won her second career indoor event and trimmed 0.13 seconds off her PR to move from No. 8 all-time to No. 6 all-time for SDSU (moved into No. 2 all-time in 60m at the SDSU Holiday Invite).

The men added wins in both the shot put and weight throw - including the No. 3 all-time throw in the weight throw by senior Logan Ammons (won, 60-03.00). The senior moved ahead of fellow teammate Samuel Coil in the all-time rankings while sophomore Noah Huber notched a weight throw personal-best himself, and moved into the No. 9 spot (third, 56-04.25) after being No. 10. Huber also won the shot put competition for the first time in his career (55-05.75).

In the women's throwing events, junior Micayla TerWee increased her shot put PR by 0.75 inches en route to her second career win in the event (46-00.75). She also finished seventh in the weight throw (51-03.00) behind senior Abby Sudbeck's fifth-place finish to start the season (55-07.50).

Long jump and triple jump included more dominate showings for State, finishing 1-3 on the men's side and 1-2 on the women's side in long jump. Freshman Tre Manning (won, 23-00.00) and sophomore Emma Stewart (won, 17-04.25) won their first career long jump events with Manning adding a PR by 4.25 inches.

As for triple jump, men went 1-2 with freshman Sage Hagen winning (46-00.75) and junior Chloe Holtz finishing runner-up (37-05.25) for her second consecutive meet.

Junior Jaymie O'Connor opened her 2019 indoor season with her third career win in the 60m hurdles (8.79) while sophomore Nick Wessels won (8.31) the men's event. Freshman Reid Pierzinski posted a school top-10 mark en route to a runner-up finish (8.38) - adding the school's No. 9 mark.

Senior Jordan Hanna (won, 1:56.19) and junior Wyatt Gatrost (second, 1:57.91) went 1-2 in the 800m - with Hanna notching a PR to gather his first career win.

Senior Krista Steele opened her 2019 indoor season with a win (2:16.68) while freshman Tori Glazier (2:19.09) added a 3.20-second PR to finish third in the women's 800m.

Both the men's and women's mile and 3,000m crews tallied big place-finishes - with redshirt freshman Michael Schwinghamer (4:19.21) and freshman Ellie Friesen (5:03.44) leading SDSU in the mile. The men in the mile went 1-7 and the women went 1-2 and 4-5.

As for the 3,000m, freshman Joseph Minor-Williams led the Jackrabbits to finish 2-8 for the men as he posted his first indoor mark (second, 8:50.09). Sophomore Jamie Schweiss led the women to finish 3-5 in her first career run as well (third, 10:31.32).

Both the men's and women's relay teams were new combinations this year - with both "A" teams winning their respective events.

Senior Kyle Burdick added his first mark of the season at North Dakota State's Thundering Herd Classic today in Fargo, N.D. He won his third career mile event and reset the Shelly Ellig Facility record (by 1.93 seconds) but was just short of his PR by 1.11 seconds (school's third all-time mark) and 5.05 seconds short the school record (Rod DeHaven - 4:00.95, 1987).
