Erin Wilde concluded a tremendous sophomore season that saw her win her second straight outdoor Big Sky Championship on Saturday afternoon at the NCAA First Rounds in Fayetteville, Ark.

Wilde finished 27^th in the West with a clearance of 5-7.25 and no misses. She successfully cleared 5-5.25 on her first attempt as well before falling out of the competition at the height of 5-9.25.

"Erin has had a great year," head coach Doug Fraley said. "She's raised her level of consistency big-time this year. She won two conference championships, and improved at this meet compared to last year when she only cleared one height."

The sophomore improved upon her finish from last season. As a freshman, she placed 38^th at the First Round meet.

Wilde finishes the year having cleared at least 5-7 in eight of the nine total meets, with the season opener the only exception.

"I think as a young athlete learning the process of coming to this meet she is by no means satisfied with her result and I look forward to seeing what she can do when she comes back next year when she's more mature, stronger, and better," Fraley said.
