A scored double dual track meet in the fieldhouse tomorrow night, 4:30 - 10. Idaho State and Montana will compete with us in a rare scored dual meet indoors. This will be very competitive. Bobcats Ellie Rudy and Nick Atwood were named BSC athletes of the week for last week. Ellie has been so honored 22 times, seven more than anyone in the history of the conference.

That is just an amazing accomplishment by Rudy!! And to think that she is only a junior and will most likely just continue adding on to her accomplishments.

Wow, I thought she was a junior

I was reading this press release on the MSU Athletics website, and it stated she was a junior. Go figure, our Athletic department can't even get the information right on one our most talented athletes:
