MSUB Track and Field Wins Four Events at Montana State Invitational

BOZEMAN, Mont. – Nathan Diede posted a provisional qualifying time for next month’s Great Northwest Athletic Conference championship meet in the men’s 100 meters to account for one of the Yellowjackets’ four individual victories Saturday at the Montana State Invitational. 

Diede won the 100 meters with a time of 11.50.  Also earning victories for MSUB were Sarah Jackson in the women’s 800, Ryan Ceynar in the men’s 10,000 and Deshawn Lewis in the men’s long jump. 

“It was a great meet Saturday,” head coach David Coppock said.  “We got some good wins and our sprinters looked really good.  We finally had a nice day to compete.”

The Yellowjackets have this week off from competition, but will conclude the regular season April 26 at the University of Montana Invitational prior to the GNAC championships the following week at Central Washington.
