GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The North Dakota State men's track & field team put up several significant performances with a limited squad at the UND Indoor Tune-Up on Saturday, specifically in the 400m dash and shot put.
 
The Bison swept a 1-2-3 finish with an impressive showing in the 400m, with Josh Knutson winning in 47.69, Adrian Harris second in 47.76, and Jacob Levin third in 48.53.
 
Knutson's winning time of 47.69 was a new personal-best that ranks third in NDSU indoor history. Harris's 47.76 was the second-fastest 400m of his career, and he ranks fourth all-time at NDSU. Levin's 48.53 was the latest in a string of personal-bests for the West Fargo product, and falls just outside NDSU's all-time Top 10.
 
Sophomore Maxwell Otterdahl threw a personal-best 64-6 (19.66m) to win the shot put. He became the fourth Bison ever to top 64 feet indoors, and he now ranks ninth in the NCAA this season.
