Women's Track and Field | 05/03/24 | 7:18 PM
Helena, Mont. – Saints Track & Field will compete Sunday and Monday at the Frontier Conference Championships in Butte, Mont.
Carroll has already put points on the board in the Decathlon, Heptathlon, and 3000m Steeplechase, which took place over the past several weeks. Tucker Monaco and Brycen Gardner came away as Conference Champions in the Decathlon and Steeplechase respectively, and both are qualified for the NAIA Outdoor Championships in late May. Sorren Reese and Katelyn Christensen were All-Conference selections for their 2nd and 3rd Place finishes in the Heptathlon, as was Hannah Sempf for her 2nd Place showing in the Steeplechase.
In total the Saints will have 37 women and 30 men competing in the Championships. Montana Tech, Montana Western, University of Providence, Rocky Mountain College, and MSU-Northern are all expected to bring athletes to the meet. Last year the Saints men and women took second to Montana Tech.
Beyond the team focus, multiple individuals have achieved marks so far this season that are near the NAIA Qualifying Standards. In the running events, this includes Connor O'Hara (10,000m), Anna Terry (10,000m), and Madalen Shipman (400m and 800m). For field events, Katelyn Christensen (Javelin), Kayla Botkin (Discus), Tim Sellars (Shot Put), and Carter White (Long Jump) have approached the qualifying marks.
The Fighting Saints currently have equaled their largest number of Outdoor National Qualifiers in the past 5 years with the following: Monaco (Decathlon), Gardner (3000m Steeplechase), Weston Means (High Jump), Josh Smalley (Pole Vault), Reuben Hornby (Javelin), Zack Gacnik (10,000m, 5,000m), Men's 4x800m Relay (Peter Rehberger, Marco Gonzalez-Sosa, Wyatt Ehredt, Kaiden Romney), Chloe Gallagher (Pole Vault), and Sorren Reese (Javelin).
