GRAND FORKS, N.D. - Most of the Jackrabbits competed back at North Dakota, in the UND Indoor Open. Juniors Evan Hieber and Jaymie O'Connor led South Dakota State off on Friday night in the multi-events.

Hieber won his first career heptathlon while resetting his personal-best score (5,126, No. 2 all-time) and winning five of the seven individual events (posting two PR's, and two season-bests).

O'Connor competed in her very first pentathlon, finishing third overall, and set the school's No. 8 all-time score (3,187). Fellow teammate Kendyl Kreber added a personal-best score with four PR's set en route to a sixth-place finish (2,859).
