Setting personal bests each competition has been the norm for the Idaho outdoor track and field team.
This pattern of success continued during events in Southern California over the weekend.
Several Vandals competed in multiple locations to punch their ticket to the Big Sky Tournament May 11-14 in Greely, Colorado.
One of the competitors to qualify for the tournament was senior pole vaulter Matt Sullivan, who cleared 5.03 meters at the Long Beach Invitational Saturday. The senior finished eight and his clearance was the second best mark in the conference.
Junior Drew Thompson continued to excel on the track, finishing seventh and earning a personal best of 6296 points in the decathlon.
