Helena, Mont. – Saints Track & Field will send their largest roster of the season to one last regular season meet at the Kennedy-Stark Athletic Center (KSAC) in Bozeman, Mont. on Saturday February 14.

 

There will be 23 men and 34 women competing in preparation for the Frontier Conference Indoor Championships the following weekend. Montana Tech, Rocky Mountain College, University of Providence, University of Montana-Western, and MSU-Northern are all expected at the meet.

 

The Saints' group will be headlined by current National Qualifiers Carson Krack (Heptathlon), Tucker Monaco (Pole Vault, Heptathlon), Brynn Wandle (Pole Vault), and Katelyn Christensen (Pentathlon). Several relays and individuals will be chasing National Qualifying standards or looking to improve on their current rankings as National fields will be filled to 20 individuals in all events. Abigail McBeain is currently ranked 18th in the Shot Put while Gabby Domenici is ranked 40th in the High Jump. 

 

Both Men's and Women's Distance Medley Relay (DMR) teams will take advantage of the only opportunity to compete and qualify in that event this season as it will not be contested at the Conference Championships. Jack Jensen (1200m leg), Wyatt Ehredt (400m leg), Oren Arthun (800m leg), and Zack Gacnik (1600m leg) will race for the men. Faye Holland (1200), Isabelle Ruff (400), Ellie Baxter (800), and Audrey vanWestrienen (1600) will complete the 4000m distance for the women. All eight DMR competitors are ranked in the Frontier's Top 10 in at least one individual event.

 

With the Saints looking ahead to the Conference meet, additional individuals in the Top 10 in the conference will be especially keen to hone their skills in those events before the following weekend. This includes Chloe Raats (400m), Jackson Swanz (60m Hurdles), Claire Bucklin (60m Hurdles, Long Jump), Maddison Akins (High Jump), Jackson Barney (Pole Vault), Braedyn Johnson (Triple Jump), Anna Hume (Triple Jump), and Hunter Gum (Shot Put).
