Three UI Athletes Get Victories

Sun., Feb. 22, 1998

Three University of Idaho athletes won their specialties Saturday at the Eastern Washington Eagle Last Chance Track and Field Meet in Cheney.

Jason St. Hill captured the men’s 55-meter dash in 6.40 seconds, although he ran a 6.37 in the preliminary race. In the women’s events, triple-jumper Melanie Conlon outdistanced the field and Shana Ball won the shot put with a mark of 44 feet, 7 inches.

The Vandal women concluded their indoor season Saturday.

A small group of the men will continue with an elite meet next weekend and then the NCAA Indoor Championships March 13-14. The Vandals will take their 4x400 relay team to the USATF Championships at Atlanta next weekend. , DataTimes
