BROOKINGS, S.D. – Minot State distance runner Bailey Wride led the way for the Minot State women on Saturday, while thrower Dallas Reese set the tone for the Beaver men as the South Dakota State Indoor Classic track and field meet wrapped up.

Wride broke her own all-time school record in the women's 600 meters as she finished 3^rd in the event on the day, while Reese was fifth in the men's shot put with a career-best throw that ranks third in Minot State NCAA Division II indoor history and 10^th-best in the NSIC this winter.

Another strong showing for the Beavers as they continue to fine-tune their performances in preparation for the NSIC Indoor Championships at the end of this month.

Wride, the defending NSIC indoor 600 meters champion, cut more than a second off her all-time school record in the event Saturday as she clocked a time of 1 minute, 35.74 seconds to finish 3^rd at the meet hosted by SDSU. Her previous record was 1:36.76 run last season.

She had turned in one of a handful of top performances by the Minot State women at the NCAA Division I meet on Saturday, as teammate Kaydee Boyce was 8th in the shot put with a career-best throw of 39 feet, 0.25 inches, and Bailey's younger sister, Afton Wride, had a career-best performance in the triple jump with a leap of 35-6.5, finishing 10^th in the event.

While they led the way for the Minot State women, Reese led the way for the men as he was 5^th at the SDSU Indoor Classic in the shot put with a throw of 51 feet, 7 inches which demolished his previous career-best mark of 50-0, which ranks third indoors in Minot State's NCAA school history, and 10^th this winter in the NSIC.

Joining Reese in turning in a top performance Saturday were Ramon Duran, who was 8^th in the 400 meters in 49.08 seconds, a season-best effort that ranks him No. 11 in the NSIC, and Marco Murillo, who was 9th in the 800 meters.

The Beavers compete in one more regular-season meet before the NSIC Indoor Championships, hosted by Minnesota State, Mankato, on February 28 and March 1. That final meet is next Saturday in Bismarck, North Dakota as Minot State competes at the Marauders Tune-Up hosted by the University of Mary.
