Some of the best athletes currently at Montana State are the track and field athletes, the sprinters and middle distance studs. A slew of athletes will contend for conference titles. Today, head coach Lyle Weese and sophomore distance runner Duncan Hamilton joined me on Nuanez Now.

I don't know if there was a mix-up in the 200m or what. Nelson was second but given the bronze when they handed out the medals.

Our track teams did awesome. NAU has a stranglehold on the league and they’re a national power but really proud of our teams.
