TRACK & FIELD

The Montana Western track & field team traveled out to compete for the second time this season at Lockwood High School for the Yellowjacket/Battlin' Bears Open last week. The meet was highlighted by four personal records in various events. Layne Cooney took home a second-place finish in the men's discus throw after he threw a mark of 44.03m for a personal record in the meet. In the women's 400m, both Malia Cox and Justene Santi had impressive performances after each recording their own personal records in the event. Olivia Heiner's new personal record in the women's 800m was enough to place her in ninth with a time of 2:30.41. Brant Heiner also had his own season best in the men's 5000m race after he recorded a ninth-place finish and a time of 16:08.46.

The Bulldogs will now head to Spokane, Wash. this week to compete in the Whitworth Peace Meet hosted by Whitworth University at Puryear Field – Boppell Track at Whitworth Pine Bowl. The event will run on Friday, April 5.
