In Vermillion, South Dakota, the Seattle University women's track and field team finished sixth at the Great West Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships, but a couple of mistakes cost the men's team as it finished in eighth place Saturday at the DakotaDome.

The team of Meeghan Bergmann, Clare Obradovich , Elena Collins and Rachel Purcell finished fifth in the 4x400 relay with a time of 4:03.56, breaking the old mark of 4:04.11 set at the 2009 UW Invitational. The women finished sixth overall with 14.5 points, with South Dakota earning the conference championship over Utah Valley.

On the men's side, Zach Stanfield was SeattleU's top placer, as he finished third in the 200 meter dash with a time of 22.31 seconds and sixth in the 60 meter dash in 7.04 seconds.
