RIVERSIDE, Calif. – North Dakota State sophomore Rose Jackson placed third in the heptathlon at the UC Riverside Spring Track Classic on Friday, scoring 4,945 points. Bison junior Ann Govig finished in fifth place with a career-best total of 4,440 points.
Jackson and Govig led a group of six NDSU women in the heptathlon, as freshman Amanda Levin placed sixth, sophomore Deidre Hahn took eighth, sophomore Lexy Boschee was ninth, and freshman Jaelin Beachy finished 14th.
