In finals on Friday, Stephan Scott-Ellis broke the meet record in the long jump at 24-31/2 and just missed the freshman school record set in 1983.
Idaho’s Mykael Bothum won the women’s shot put with an NCAA provisional qualifying toss of 52-91/4.
Idaho’s Lucas Pope bettered the meet record in the pole vault at 17-31/2.
