BOZEMAN, Mont. – Montana competed against Big Sky foes Idaho State and Montana State on Friday night at the Bobcat Performance meet. On the men's side, the Grizzlies fell to both the Bengals (79 to 51) and Bobcats (75 to 55). The results were similar on the women's side, with Idaho State (76 to 61) and Montana State (81 to 54) both out-scoring the Grizzlies.

Individual highlights for Montana include four event wins, all in field events. Morgan Radtke won the women's high jump (5-6.5), Gordon McMillion was victorious the men's long jump (21-1.25), Matt Ward won the men's weight throw (58-2) and Tanessa Morris won the women's weight throw (53-3.5).

Radtke, a junior from Drummond, Montana, won the women's high jump after clearing 5-6.5 for the first time in her career – a personal best by 2 inches. Radtke was also Montana's top long jumper on the women's side, finishing third with a top jump of 17-4.75 – a PR of more than 4 inches.

Ward won his second throwing event of his freshman season, but this time did so with a PR of nearly 3 feet (58-2). Morris won the women's weight throw for the first time as a Grizzly, now finishing in the top five of all three meets this season.

McMillion, a freshman from Missoula, was right on pace with his long jump mark from last week in Spokane (21-1.25), earning his first collegiate victory.

Other highlights from the meet include:

Junior Emma Normand was Montana's top runner in both the women's 60 meters (7.69) and 200 meters (26.34). She finished both races in second place, with her 60-meters time being a personal best and the top time by a Griz runner this season.
Sophomore Zane Johnson posted a pair of personal bests, finishing second in the triple jump (44-4.75) and fourth in the pole vault (15-3).
