NORWALK, Calif. - Sophomore Bethany Buell set another school record in the pole vault at the Long Beach State Invitational, and senior Jasmine Mosley set a new school record in discus at the Kansas Relays to lead the way for the South Dakota track and field teams during competition Saturday. Saturday's events capped off a busy weekend of competition for the Coyote teams.

At the Long Beach State Invite in Norwalk, Calif., Buell (St. Louis, Mo.) cleared a pole vault height of 14-3 1/2 - topping her previous school record and personal best by one inch - to win the event. The height was also a meet record. That height ranks her third in the nation and is just a half-inch away from second.

Earlier in the day, in windy conditions, Buell jumped 13-1 1/2 at the Mt. SAC Relays but easily surpassed that mark at Long Beach.
