Brandi Prieto is entered in the women’s triple jump with Annetta Wells in the 400 meters, senior Nancy James in the 800 and mile, and sophomore Krystal Harris in the 200.

Motley won his third consecutive triple jump title in the Big Sky Conference indoor championships at Northern Arizona last week and Bush placed first in the shotput.

Prieto won an unprecedented fourth consecutive women’s triple jump title and Wells placed first in the 200 and 400.
