BROOKINGS, SD – The South Dakota State men's and women's track and field teams each currently sit in first place through one day of competition at the SDSU D2/NAIA Open on Friday night.
Action kicked off with the multi events, which saw Lizzy Gillingham win the women's pentathlon with a total of 3251 points and a new PR in the high jump (4-09.25). Robyn Dayton finished fifth overall with 2726 points.
On the track, two men's 4x800-meter relay teams jumped onto the SDSU Top 10 All-Time list. Sean Murphy, Josh Becker, Andrew Moeller and Brandon Kampsen clocked a 7:42.16 for second in the event and second all-time.
Jackson Dutcher, Will Lohr, Nathan Notgrass and Tyler O'Neill then teamed up and ran a 7:50.50 for a fifth place finish in the event. The time also tied for ninth in school history.
The lone field event of the day was the men's and women's discus, highlighted by Caiden Fredrick's first-place mark of 176-04.25 in his event debut. Also in the finals, Ethan Fischer claimed runner-up with a 173-04.75 and Ryan Hackbart took fifth with a 145-04.50 in his event debut.
Milee Young threw a 140-09.75 for second place as Ryann Moline (125-11.50) was sixth and Kaitlynn Bot (121-11.50) came ninth.
