VERMILLION, S.D. – Benji Phillips and Alex Talley registered meet records on their way to conference titles, headlining the performances of the North Dakota State men's track & field team on the opening day of the Summit League Outdoor Championships.
 
Phillips threw a career-best and meet-record 246-11 (75.27m) to win the javelin title. He is now No. 6 in the NCAA this season, and is just over seven feet shy of Matti Mortimore's NDSU school record.
 
Talley launched a meet-record 228-11 (69.78m) to take first place in the hammer, defending his conference crown from 2019 in the event.
 
NDSU's Trevor Otterdahl registered a personal-best by more than eight feet in the hammer throw to take second place, throwing 215-11 (65.83m). He moved up to fifth-best in school history, and now also ranks 35th in the nation this year.
 
Bison freshman Matt Kraft earned All-Summit League honors in the javelin, throwing 201-4 (61.38m) for a third-place finish. Ty Ogren placed fifth for NDSU.
 
Freshman Zach Johnson (Moorhead, Minn.) raced to fifth place in the 10,000m, running a time of 30:57.50 which lands him just outside the NDSU all-time Top 10.
 
Tristan Bush took sixth in the hammer for NDSU with a mark of 186-11 (56.98m).
