Way to go, Shelby!
Three separate major surgeries in her college career between UM and MSU and she’s peaking in her last season. She also will be heading to med school this Fall. A true student-athlete.
Awesome job by the other three who set school records!

BOZEMAN — One after another, the records just kept falling Friday.
Starting in the afternoon with Shelby Schweyen's performance in the pentathlon and ending on Sydney Brewster's final throw of the night in the shot put, Montana State's indoor track and field team set four school records and 15 new all-time top-10 marks Friday in the Bobcat Performance meet at Worthington Arena.
Schweyen, the reigning Big Sky Conference indoor pentathlon champion, exploded with five lifetime bests in her five events to set the Montana State and Big Sky records for the pentathlon (4,183 points).
The graduate student from Missoula got things started with a converted 8.59 seconds in the 60 meter hurdles, not only a PR but also the third-fastest race ever run by a Bobcat woman in the event.
Thirty minutes later, Schweyen was clearing the highest bar of her life in the high jump, getting over 5 feet, 8.5 inches to climb to fifth all-time in Montana State history in that event.
The multi-star kept the momentum rolling, putting up lifetime bests in the shot put, long jump and 800 meters to score 4,183 points, eclipsing Carley McCutchen's previous record of 4,056 set in 2015 for the MSU record and placing ahead of Montana's Erika McLeod's total of 4,149 points in 2019 for the Big Sky record.
"That was something else," head coach Lyle Weese said. "Every event was right on. She came out of there with an incredible score, starting right with the hurdles with that significant PR. A great high jump competition. PR in the shot after that. With most multis, the long jump is kind of the one that can be pretty difficult because you can always scratch and you only get three chances. It's so particular, the long jump. She had a solid second jump and an even better third jump, then finished it off by putting out a great 800."
