BOZEMAN, Mont. – Montana State's Wyatt Thompson-Siporen sits among the leaders in the men's heptathlon as the Bobcats' multi-event athletes completed the opening day of the Big Sky Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships on Thursday, Feb. 21, inside of Worthington Arena.

The Bobcat junior took first overall among the heptathletes in the long jump behind a personal-best mark of 23 feet, 1.25 inches (7.04m). He also took second in the shot put with a toss of 41-03 (12.57m), tied a lifetime best of 7.26 seconds in the 60-meter dash to tie for sixth and finished seventh in the high jump by clearing 6-01.50 (1.87m).
Hunter Nicholson and Caleb Neth are currently seventh and ninth, respectively, with three events to go in the event.
Nicholson has a total of 2,734 points and Neth follows with 2,695. Nicholson completed three lifetime bests and finished as high as a tie for third overall in the high jump with a mark of 6-04 (1.93m). Neth took fourth in the field of competitors in the long jump with his leap of 22-03.50 (6.79m). He also earned a personal best in the 60 dash with a time of 7.26 seconds.
The heptathlon picks back up at 10 a.m. on Friday in Worthington Arena starting with the 60 hurdles. Individual championship events begin at 3 p.m.
