MOSCOW, Idaho - The Lewis-Clark State Track and Field Team began their first meet of 2019 on Friday on the campus of the University of Idaho.

Head Coach Mike Collins had a lot of confidence in his student-athletes going into the multis on day one of the meet.

"Other than nationals, this the biggest field I have seen for a regular season multi competition," Collins said. "Hopefully that will help drive up the competitiveness within all the athletes. It will be fun to see how things go today."

Two Warriors competed in the pentathlon, and three began the heptathlon which will conclude on Saturday.
 

WOMEN
Senior Jenny Sapp showed that she is a seasoned veteran in the events, finishing fourth in the pentathlon with a personal-best 3175 points. The mark currently puts her at eighth in the NAIA and qualifies Sapp for the National Championships. She set personal-records in the high jump (1.57m/5'1.75"), shot put (8.82m/28'11.25") and the 800m (2:25.19).

Abby Snyder had her first taste of a collegiate multi in Moscow and placed eighth out of 17 with a total of 2702 points.

MEN
At the close of the first day of competition for the heptathlon, Falk Thieme currently sits in third-place with 2551 points.

Owen Lanning is in 10th-place with 2286 points and Alixander Morse is just behind him in 11th with 2270.

"All three of the guys left big points on the board, but it is a heptathlon and tomorrow is a new day, so their fortune could change," Assistant Coach Cyrus Hall said.

The Warriors continue the meet tomorrow.

Official results from this weekend's action will be available at the conclusion of the meet.
