The Meet
The Coyotes host the USD Twilight on Wednesday evening at the Lillibridge Track Complex and Gottsleben Field. Field events begin at 3 p.m. with running events starting at 5 p.m. Attendance will be limited due to COVID-19 capacity restrictions.
The Coyotes
Roughly half of the Coyote track and field squad will compete at Wednesday's meet. The women's 200 meters will feature a battle of the Coyotes with freshman
Sara Reifenrath dropping down from the 400 meters to face freshman
Erin Kinney moving up from the 100 meters. The Summit leader in the triple jump,
Jacob Jenkins, will compete at his first meet in two weeks. Also taking advantage of the anticipated windy conditions on Wednesday are the Coyote discus throwers. South Dakota will have a full contingent in the event with
Jessie Sullivan and
Leah Dusterhoft leading the group.
The Competition
Limited squads will compete at the USD Twilight with athletes from South Dakota, South Dakota State, Dakota State, Dordt, Iowa Western CC, Minnesota State, Morningside, Mount Marty, Northwestern, Sioux Falls and Wayne State.
