POCATELLO, Idaho – The Bengals wrapped up the Beach Invite and Bryan Clay invite in Long Beach, Calif., Saturday. The Bengals took advantage of two large national meets to put together strong performances and continue preparations for the Big Sky and NCAA Championships.
Kyndal Martin had a strong showing in the women's 100mH. The Bengal speedster crossed the line 14th in 13.82 seconds, a new personal best. Because of wind speed though, the mark will not count towards moving up on the ISU Top-10 list.
