FARMINGTON, Utah --- The Montana State men's and women's track & field teams were picked among the preseason favorites in the Big Sky, both finishing second in the Big Sky Conference Indoor Track & Field Coaches' Poll, as announced by the conference office on Friday.
The Bobcat women received 91 votes while the men received 90, with both teams earning a first-place vote in the poll that included each of the 10 Big Sky programs' head coaches.
The Bobcat men and women each finished second at the Big Sky Indoor Championships last season and will look to replicate that success during the 2025-26 campaign that started off on the right foot with the Bobcat PReview last Thursday. Competing in their first meet at the brand-new Kennedy-Stark Athletic Center, the Bobcats shattered two school records and a Big Sky Conference record while bringing home 14 event wins and making seven improvements to the Montana State all-time top-10 list.
