Meet Results
Sioux Falls, S.D.--University of South Dakota sophomore Emily Grove set a meet record in winning the women's pole vault and was one of six Coyote winners Saturday on the second and final day of the Howard Wood Dakota Relays. The evening session of the event was cancelled due to rain and cold temperatures.
Grove vaulted 13-feet-11.75-inches, topping teammate Bethany Buell's 2011 height by 2.5 inches. Grove, who has reached 14 feet this season, ranks 11th nationally in the event. Teammate Hunter Wilkes tied for second Saturday with a vault of 13-feet-5.75-inches.
USD junior Cody Snyder and teammate Kyle McKelvey, a sophomore, are the Summit League's leaders in the shot put. They went head-to-head Saturday and it was McKelvey who bested the field of 10 with a throw of 53-feet-1-inch. Snyder placed second at 52-feet-6.75-inches.
