MANKATO, Minn. – The weekend belongs to Minot State's Bailey Wride.

The freshman middle-distance runner stole the show for the Beavers this weekend, writing her name into the Minot State record books on Friday then breaking her own record while claiming her first NSIC Championship on Saturday in the women's 600 meters at the NSIC Indoor Track & Field Championships hosted by Minnesota State, Mankato.

Friday Wride broke the NCAA Division II record in the 600 meters, qualifying for Saturday's finals with a time of 1 minute, 38.32 seconds. She broke the old record of 1:38.81 run by Whitney Hanson in 2020.

Saturday, she shattered her own record and the all-time school record in the event while blowing past her NSIC competitors as well, racing to her first NSIC championship in a time of 1:36.76 to win the 600 meters.

That time broke the all-time Minot State record in the event of 1:37.67 run by Vicky Anderson in 2004.

Wride's win helped power the Minot State women to a ninth-place team finish out of 14 teams as the Beavers scored 18 points.

On the men's side, Minot State finished 10^th out of 11 teams with 11 points.

Wride also earned All-NSIC honors with her championship and was the lone Beaver to do so on the weekend, though a few other Minot State student-athletes came close as they scored for the Beavers.

That included teammate Sidra Sadowsky who was fourth in women's 800 meter in 2:17.53 on Saturday, missing All-NSIC honors by one spot.

On the men's side, Peyton Tuhy led the way as he broke the NCAA Division II-era record in the men's 1,000 meters in the prelims on Friday with a time of 2:31.88, then finished sixth in the finals on Saturday in 2:32.32, one of three Minot State individuals to score for the Beavers.

Jasiah Hambria added to Minot State's team score as he also was sixth in the men's high jump clearing 6 feet, 7 inches, and Jacob Jensen was seventh in mile in 4:17.15 for the Beavers.

The Minot State men's 4x400-meter relay team also added points to the team total as Ramon Duran, Francis Short Bull, Nathan Trujillo-Aragon, and Devontae Daley were sixth in 3:21.70.
