FARGO, N.D. — For the second week in a row, Trevor Begeman has rewrote the record books and taken over the number one spot on SDSU's all-time list. Saturday's Dakota Quad saw Begeman steal the record from himself, throwing shot for a distance of 59-7.75 to pass last week's throw of 59-1.50 that made him No. 1.

Final results from the event can be found here.

Ellie Friesen won the women's mile in a mark of 4:52.33, passing her previous best of 4:54.06 and is now the outright owner of the fourth-best time in SDSU history after being previously tied at that spot.
