Carter, a junior from Helena, played a major role for the Bobcats at the Big Sky Outdoor Championships, winning the 100m hurdles and running the opening leg of the 4x100m relay which captured gold in a MSU record-breaking performance. She also finished first in the long jump at the league meet.
Carter, along with Alex Hellenberg, Longmont, Colo., were Top Gun women's recipients for most points scored during the outdoor season. The duo each posted 28 points at the conference meet. Ben Perrin, Kalispell, was the men's Top Gun honoree with 18 points.
