Rudy Sets New Vault Standard
5/4/2007 12:00:00 AM | Track & Field
Ellie Rudy did it again, setting Montana State and Big Sky Conference records with a pole vault of 14-2.5 in Bozeman's Tom Gage Classic Friday.
Not only was Rudy's mark a record-setter, but it actually qualified her for the men's pole vault competition at the Big Sky Championships. "Ellie keeps improving," said MSU coach Dale Kennedy. "She is really making great strides."
Rudy's performance highlighted a productive meet for athletes from Montana State and Montana. MSU's Kylee Zent improved her shot put season's best by nearly a foot with a 48-10.25 in the shot put, while Montana's Allie Brosch narrowly missed hitting the regional qualifying mark winning the 5000 meters with a 17:24.07.
Montana State's throwers crew posted a solid evening. Nathan Palmer and Jesse Allen each surpassed the NCAA Midwest Regional qualifying marks in the hammer, as the Bobcat throws crew won six of the eight throwing events.
Montana State heads to the Big Sky Conference Championships in Pocatello, Idaho next weekend. The multi-event competition begins Wednesday, while the meet begins in earnest Friday.
