The Coyotes
It's been a light schedule so far for South Dakota as we head into February. South Dakota opened the season with a pair of team titles at the SDSU Holiday Invitational back in December, then the Coyote women finished runner-up to Nebraska last weekend at the Mark Colligan Memorial in Lincoln. The Coyotes were picked as the preseason Summit League favorites after sweeping the team titles a year ago.
Â
Senior
Marshall Faurot is the reigning Summit League Peak Performer of the Week for men's field. He captured the pole vault in Lincoln with a season-best height of 17-3 (5.26m). His was one of seven event titles captured by the Coyotes at the Mark Colligan Memorial.

USD also had three marks make the Coyote Top 10 list last Saturday. The women's 4x400-meter relay of
Jacy Pulse,
Madison Jochum,
