POCATELLO, Idaho – Montana opened the 2020 Big Sky Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships on Thursday and earned points from Jaree Mane.
Mane, a junior from Lewistown, Mont., placed sixth out of 15 competitors in the women's pentathlon with a career-best 3,383 points. Mane was highly successful in her running and throwing events, placing fourth in the 60-meter hurdles (PR 9.09), shot put (36-9.25) and 800 meters (2:27.56).
For Mane, it continued a steady progression she has shown each year of her career. As a freshman in 2018, Mane placed 16th in the event. A year ago she was 11th. Now, as a junior, Mane scored points for her team.
Competing in her first Championships, freshman Holly Sudol placed 15th, but gained valuable experience, particularly considering it was her first multi competition of her collegiate career. In fact, she had never before competed in two of the five events.
Sudol finished the day strong with an eight-place finish in the 800 meters (2:31.39) and ninth-place result in the long jump (16-9.5). Sudol also had a PR of 9.29 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles.
More than halfway through the men's heptathlon, sophomore Aidan Diggs is in fifth place out of 14 competitors. Diggs started the morning with a win in the 60 meters (PR 6.97), before placing fourth in the long jump (21-11). His day concluded with the shot put (32-3.25) and high jump (5-10).
Diggs – who as a freshman in 2019 placed fifth in the event, in addition to a third-place performance in the decathlon – will finish the heptathlon on Friday with the 60-meter hurdles, pole vault and 1,000 meters. The 60-meter hurdles is one of Diggs' top events, currently ranked ninth in the Big Sky in the event.
The men's heptathlon will pick back up Friday at 11 a.m. Several additional track and field events will begin at 1:30 p.m. Fans can watch and follow the action online.
