The Coyotes

South Dakota is back at Nebraska for its second of three meets in Lincoln this season. The Coyotes are coming off the USD Alumni Meet where they competed in front of the home crowd.
 
Junior pole vaulters Cassidy Mooneyhan and Eerik Haamer captured Summit League Peak Performers of the Week, sweeping the weekly field honors. Mooneyhan tied her personal best of 14-2 (4.32m) to win the vault at the USD Alumni Meet and move to 12th in the nation. Haamer vaulted a season-best 17-3 ¾ (5.28m) as the top collegiate finisher and move to 29th nationally.
 
There were 10 updates to the Coyote Top 10 last week, including three in the men's heptathlon competition. Junior Derek Eidsness won the event with a score of 5,034 points that marked the fourth-best total in program history.
