Track & Field

Montana State thrower Kyle Douglass’s strong campaign has continued outdoors.

Montana State hosted the Bobcat preview to open its indoor track and field season on Saturday and two athletes earned Big Sky honors Tuesday. 

Work to resurface the Bobcat Track and Field Complex for the first time since 2002 begins Monday.

MSU’s Alyssa Snyder became the first Bobcat to advance to the NCAA Track and Field Championships since 2015, and the first women's runner to ever qualify in the 10,000 meters. She was one of eight MSU athletes who competed Thursday during the NCAA West Preliminary Round in Austin, Texas.

The NCAA on Thursday announced its Division I qualifiers and Montana State is sending nine athletes to the qualifying round for the chance to advance to the NCAA Championships.

Senior Jessica Chrisp and freshman Caleb Neth led the Montana State women’s and men’s teams, respectively, as the multi-event portion of the 2017 Big Sky Outdoor Track and Field Championships finished Thursday in Sacramento, California.

Dale Kennedy has coached track and field at Montana State for more than three decades, and he’s hard-pressed to recall a recruiting class with the opportunity to make over the program as significantly as this year’s group of newcomers.
