The Cougar track and field team had a busy weekend.

Luckily, the team had two meets that were both short road trips to Moscow.

On Friday, the Cougars competed in the 35th Annual Vandals Indoor meet and participated in the Runners Soul Meet on Satudray. Both events were in University of Idaho’s indoor track facilities at Kibbie Dome.

On Friday, there were some impressive performances.

Pole vaulter Kendall Mays not only won the meet in her event but also reached an NCAA provisional qualifying mark with her vault of 13-4 1/4.

The women’s 60-meter dash saw tight WSU competition. Freshman heptathlete Jasmine Johnson-McKeown won with a time of 7.69 seconds and a lifetime best. Right behind her was freshman Cindy Robinson who took second place with a time of 7.71 seconds, a new personal record.
