Otterdahl moved up to No. 8 in the nation this season in the weight throw after launching a season-best mark of 72-00.75 (21.96m) to win the event at the Bison Open. He also threw a shot put personal-best of 61-10.50 (18.86m) to finish runner-up in the meet. His shot put mark ranks 28th in the country this season and sixth-best in NDSU history.

Kelby Anderson ran away with the 3,000-meter title at the Bison Open clocking a converted time of 9:32.55 to lead the league this season.

Amanda Anderson launched an indoor shot put personal-best to be the top collegiate finisher at the Bison Open.
