POCATELLO, Idaho – The Bengals got back after it on day two of the Weber State Invitational, Saturday afternoon in Ogden, Utah.

Postmeet Comments:
Head Coach Hillary Merkly remarked on some of the Bengals' performances this weekend
"Kapri had a great day yesterday and Kyndal had another outstanding meet with hurdles, that mark in the 55 and a great 400 and 4x400 she's really doing what not a lot of people can do. It was impressive. Zach had a good day with his hurdles and Brody Burch ran an amazing leg of the 4x4 to pull out a win for that team. Jay Wadley also had over a meter PR in shot yesterday and some younger athletes are making improvements.   

We are excited to back at home next weekend!"
