FARGO – The speedy Minot State Beavers showed up and showed out once again as the Track and Field team competed in their third outdoor meet of the season.

On Friday, the 2025 campaign continued in Fargo at the NDSU Spring Invite, where multiple Division I schools were featured along with a mix of DII and NAIA programs.

Sisters Bailey Wride and Afton Wride, along with Summer Krebsbach and Ramon Duran highlighted some of the top performances of the day.

Starting in the women’s 1,500-meters, Bailey Wride won the entire set with a final time of 4 minutes, 45.60 seconds. Wride also competed in the women’s 800-meters, collecting 5th with a time of 2 minutes, 19.19 seconds. Just ahead of her was Sidra Sadowsky. She closed in at 2:17.44, which was good for 2nd.

Finishing 4th and breaking her own record in the women’s 100-meters, Summer Krebsbach outdid herself again with a final time of 11.73 seconds, which passed her previous record of 12.07 from the Willie Williams Classic a couple weeks ago. With that outcome, she clinched her first-ever NCAA provisional qualifying mark. She currently sits tied for 31st in the nation.

Krebsbach then followed up with another record-breaking performance in the 200-meters. She placed 2nd at 24.50 seconds, surpassing another record of hers of 25.38 from last season.

Afton Wride picks up another highlight to her rookie season as she managed to get 1st place with a finish of 11.31 meters (37 feet and 1 inch) in the women’s triple jump. With that result, she now moves to 4th all-time in the women’s triple jump. She surpassed Hannah Johnsen’s 2011 record, which was 36 feet and 8 inches.

On the men’s side, Ramon Duran flashed in the men’s 400-meter hurdles, capturing a 1st place finish at 54.17 seconds.

Minot State had a top 5 finisher in the men’s 3,000 steeplechase. Holter Bridwell came in at 4th with a result of 9:58.96. That finish is also good for 3rd in the NCAA era, passing Gavin Jorgensen’s 2021 record of 10.02.11.

In a hefty bracket, Peyton Tuhy also found himself in the top 5 of the men’s 1,500-meters, clocking in at 4:02.64. Also in another loaded event, Devan Daniels also claimed 5th but this time in the men’s 100-meters. The sophomore went for 10.77 seconds, which passes his 2024 record of 10.80 and fell a tenth of a second short of tying for top 10 all-time.

Minot State was represented in the men’s triple jump by James Smith. He tallied 13.17m (43 feet and 2 inches) for 5th place.

And lastly in the men’s discus, Evan Hartt went back to work and found himself his own top 5 finish. The Freshman recorded 150 feet and 9 inches.

The Beavers will head to Dickinson on Saturday, April 19 for the Blue Hawk Games.
