Track & Field Opens Season With Successful USD Invitational

After nearly a year removed from competition due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Drake University men's and women's track & field teams returned to competition Saturday at the USD Invitational at South Dakota's Dakota Dome.

The Bulldogs recorded 16 top-5 performances in a field that featured competitors from South Dakota, South Dakota State and Omaha.

Cloud Masibhera and Isaac Basten earned spots on top of the podium for the Bulldogs as Masibhera won the long jump with a leap of 23-4.75 (7.13m) that came on his second of four jumps. Basten, the reigning MVC Freshman of the Year, paced a 1-2 finish for the Bulldogs in winning the mile in 4:13.
