In its final tuneup before the NAIA Outdoor Track & Field Nationals, Carroll College got some solid results Friday at the Tom Gage Classic in Bozeman.
Sandy Torres finished second in the 800 for the Carroll women, who made quite a bit of noise in the 1,500 — where they took four of the top 10 spots.
Best among those were Rhianna Grossman in third and Bailey Hughes in fourth. Jordan Mathes placed seventh and Shelby Sweeny was ninth.

Wind gusting to 40 mph. Rain. Snow. None of it bothered Carroll College sophomore Jackie Mee, who left Missoula’s Larchmont Golf Course on Tuesday as the Frontier Conference’s individual champion. That means Mee’s season isn’t quite finished, as she earns an automatic bid to the upcoming NAIA national championships May 21-24 in Lincoln, Neb.
“It feels really good, but it was kind of like I was in a little bit of shock at first,” Mee said. “Making the last putt on my last hole, I kind of knew that I had won it.”
Mee entered the day with a six-stroke lead, and finished with a three-round total of 232 — giving her a seven-stroke victory.
