Director of Track and Field Hillary Merkley Wrapping Up the Meet – "Destinee Rose Haas and Owen Mitchell wrapped up an incredible career this weekend at Idaho State.
Destinee dominated her senior year and consistently showed up and performed throughout Indoors and Outdoors. She is one of the best throwers to ever come through our program and she left her mark not only on our record books but on the Big Sky.
Owen was a three-time NCAA West Region qualifier and a Big Sky Champion Twice.
Both are exceptional individuals and leaders who will be missed next year. They are going to go on to do great things in their personal lives. We are really proud of them.
The remaining qualifiers have some more time with us and they gained some valuable experience this weekend. We are fortunate to have them back this next year and hope they can continue to spread their influence so we can get some others back here with them next year."
