ST. PAUL, MINN. – Eli Hall finished fourth individually, while four other Jackrabbits placed inside the top 10 as the South Dakota State men captured their 11th consecutive Summit League championship.
FINAL RESULTS:
HEAD COACH ROD DEHAVEN
"It was a good day for the Jackrabbits. On the women's side, I thought we competed well. I know the final result doesn't look the best, but there were plenty of bright spots in that group and they're going to continue and we're going to get stronger."
"For the men, it's a team sport and we had guys step up. It's never going to be perfect and that's why depth is so important in this sport and I'm proud of their perseverance and ability to compete for each other."
