FARMINGTON, Utah – Montana State track and field completed its first meet of the season last Friday and several athletes posted highlight marks in their debut competition of the 2021-22 indoor schedule. Two Bobcats, Lucy Corbett and Colby Wilson, were chosen as the Big Sky Conference's Field Athletes of the Week announced by the league on Monday.
