Corbett leaves the Blue and Gold as a school-record holder, both indoors and outdoors. She participated in four NCAA Championships and won six Big Sky titles.
Montana State senior and All-American performer Lucy Corbett completed the Bobcats' stay at the 2023 NCAA Outdoor West First Round Track and Field meet, placing 34th with a mark of 5-07.75 in high jump on Saturday afternoon at Hornet Stadium.
The Bozeman product cleared her first two heights before missing twice at 5-09.75 and retiring the third attempt. Lamar Distin of Texas A&M won the West high jump with a mark of 6-0.75.
Corbett, who battled injury during the outdoor campaign, posted a season-best 5-09.75 at the Tom Gage Invitational in early May.
"Lucy is a Bobcat legend," said Dale Kennedy Director of Track and Field Lyle Weese. "She has been an incredible teammate and just amazingly tough."
Corbett leaves the Blue and Gold as a school-record holder, both indoors and outdoors. She participated in four NCAA Championships and won six Big Sky titles.
Last summer, she made her first appearance at the USA Track and Field Championships. Corbett posted a personal-best and Big Sky record 6-02.25 indoors to win the 2022 league title, and notched 6-01.50 outdoors, the second-best mark in Big Sky history. Her highest NCAA finish came at the 2022 indoor championships where she finished eighth overall.
Five Bobcats qualified for the NCAA Track and Field Championships, June 7-10, in Austin, Texas, over the weekend. Making the trip to NCAAs are steeplechasers Duncan Hamilton, Rob McManus, and Levi Taylor, along with Ben Perrin and Camila Noe, who both qualified at 10,000-meters.
"This was a special West region meet that we won't soon forget," Weese said. "We are so excited to be sending five to the NCAA Championships which is a credit to the support from the entire team, coaches, athletic trainers, and athletic administration in making this happen.
"The five are heading into Austin looking to make some noise, represent MSU, hopefully bring home some All-America awards," Weese added.
