The University of Montana outdoor track and field teams swept the women's and men's competitions Saturday afternoon at the annual Griz-Cat Dual at Dornblaser Field in Missoula. The UM women ended a 10-year losing streak to MSU with a 111-89 victory. The Montana men won for the fifth time in six duals, 126-76.
The combined victories were the first sweep in the dual for the Grizzlies since 1986.
The UM women had 11 wins in the meet’s 19 events, taking both first and second place in seven of the events.
The Montana men had the winner in 17 of the 19 events, missing out on only the pole vault and shot put for a clean first-place sweep.

On the men's side, senior Robb Hollenbeck, sophomore Logan Labbe and Grinnell all improved upon their NCAA Midwest Region-qualifying marks.
Hollenbeck won the long jump in a career-best 24-4.5, Labbe won the javelin with a season-best 208-9 and Grinnell won the triple jump with a season-best 50-2.5.
