SMSU TRACK AND FIELD: Mustangs compete Saturday at USD Early Bird

MARSHALL — The Southwest Minnesota State University women’s and men’s outdoor track & field teams return to action this Saturday competing at the University of South Dakota Early Bird at the Lillibridge Track Complex and Gottsleben Field in Vermillion, S.D. Field events will begin at 10:30 a.m. with running events starting at 12:30 p.m.

Due to COVID-19 capacity limits and the size of this weekend’s field, there will be no tickets sold for Saturday’s meet.

Saturday’s field includes student-athletes from Northern Iowa, Omaha, South Dakota State, Dakota Wesleyan, Iowa Central CC, Iowa Western CC, Minot State, Northern State, and UMary. There will also be a handful of non-collegians competing from Iron Wood TC.

SMSU opened its outdoor season last Friday and Saturday at the Wayne State Wildcat Classic.

Caitlyn Regan has the second fastest time in the 1,500 meters among NSIC runners at 5:06.38, while Rebecca Manteuffel’s mark of 47.11m in the discus ranks second in the NSIC and an NCAA provisional mark. Manteuffel’s 12.99m toss in the shotput ranks fifth in the NSIC.

Connor Wigand has the third best mark in the shot put among NSIC competitors at 15.83m, while his discus toss of 43.21m ranks fourth in the league. Isaiah Nelson ranks third in the triple jump at 13.30m with teammate McKallen Smith tied for first in the high jump at 1.90m.
