NAMPA, Idaho. – The 2011 indoor track and field season came to a close for the Montana State Billings men's and women's track and field teams Saturday afternoon in Nampa, Idaho at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Indoor Championships.

 

The Yellowjackets had one of their best indoor championship meets this weekend, scoring one their highest team point totals in school history.

 

MSUB had four events that proved to be the highlight of the meet for the young and surging program.

Whitney Mickelsen, who came into the meet as one of the hottest runners in the mile race, placed fifth in the event with a finishing time of 5:17.16.

After things were sorted out, Mickelsen received her placing in the event.
