Berg Makes History, Johnson Grabs Another Title
5/17/2008 12:00:00 AM | Track & Field
Kim Berg grabbed part of a record that may be equaled but will never be topped, winning her fourth Big Sky Conference javelin championship on Saturday in Sacramento.
The Montana State senior swept through her career without ever losing in conference competition, something only Idaho's Sherry Schoenborn (1983-86) has previously accomplished in the javelin throw. The Kremlin native won with a mark of 161-1, just shy of her best throw this year (161-6).
Junior sprinter Dan Johnson grabbed a 400 meter outdoor championship to go with his indoor title in that event. The Livingston product blew past the NCAA Regional qualifying mark with his school record 46.50 in the prelims. Only 12 men previously posted better marks in the championship race than Johnson's winning 46.55.
Montana State's teams both topped expectations in this year's Big Sky meet. While both teams were picked to finish sixth with 90 points, the Bobcat women scored 86 points to finish fifth and the men scored 99.5 points to finish fourth, both teams topping the Grizzlies.
