Junior Mack Baxter headlined the season opener for the Vandals with a win in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 53.09 seconds. The time earned him the Big Sky Track Athlete of the Week nod, as well as the fastest time in the conference this season. He currently sits at No. 47 in the country and No. 20 in the west.

Senior Kaleala Bass took home titles in both the women’s 400 meters and 200 meters.
