Grizzlies Prepare for Final Push at Tom Gage Classic
The University of Montana track and field team will conclude its regular season with the Tom Gage Classic in Bozeman this Friday. This final meet presents a crucial opportunity for athletes vying for the last available roster spots ahead of next week’s Big Sky Championships in Sacramento. Coach Doug Fraley emphasized the significance of this event, particularly for athletes seeking to secure their position in the upcoming championship.
Despite a small travel roster, the meet holds substantial implications for several Grizzlies, especially after a remarkable outing at last weekend’s Bengal Invitational, where they set three school records. Among those making headlines were Tara Ohlwiler in the 100m and Samantha Serex in the pole vault, both of whom moved into regional qualifying positions.
As many athletes rest for the championships, top pole vaulters will look to enhance their performances, with several close to breaking into the NCAA regional top 48 rankings. With favorable weather expected, this meet not only serves as a competitive platform but also as a potential farewell for many athletes concluding their careers. The Grizzlies aim to wrap up their season on a positive note, showcasing their hard work and dedication.
