Final Team Scores

TULSA, Okla. – It came down to the homestretch of the final event, but the streak lived on.
 
The North Dakota State women's track & field team pulled out a win in the 4x400m relay to share the conference team championship with South Dakota on Saturday afternoon at the Summit League Outdoor Championships. Over the three-day, 21-event meet, both the Bison and Coyotes scored exactly 263 points to tie for the team title.
 
The win extends NDSU's nation-best outdoor conference championship streak to 11 years.
 
Trailing South Dakota by four points going into the final event, NDSU's Alyssa Lind, Deidre Hahn, Peyton Frolek and Alexis Woods brought home a first-place finish and 10 team points in the 4x400m relay in 3:42.73. The Coyotes finished third, earning six team points and securing the tie.
 
It was the 11th straight Summit League outdoor 4x400m title for the Bison women.
