SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – North Dakota State University had three athletes honored as the Summit League TicketSmarter Indoor Track and Field Peak Performers of the Week, league officials announced Tuesday. NDSU's Jacob Rodin and Kaden Pastian earned the weekly honor for the men, while Grace Emineth claimed the accolade on the women's side.
 
At the Bison Team Cup, Rodin broke his own school record and facility record in the 600 meters to take the event title. He won the race in a time of 1:17.88, improving his previous NDSU all-time best of 1:18.03, as well as his facility record of 1:18.18 from last season. Rodin's winning time ranks 12th in the NCAA this season for the 600m. He also ran a leg on the Bison 4x400m relay team that took first in a time of 3:20.63.
 
Pastian registered personal-best marks in both the weight throw and the shot put at the Bison Team Cup. He was the top collegiate finisher in the weight throw with a personal-best mark of 64-11.50 (19.80m). The launch now ranks him ninth in NDSU history and 37th in the NCAA this season. In the shot put, he threw a career-best toss of 56-09.25 (17.30m) good for sixth place.
 
Emineth excelled at the Bison Team Cup, notching event titles in the long jump and triple jump. Her indoor personal-best winning long jump mark of 20-00.25 (6.10m) ranks her third all-time at NDSU and 16th in the NCAA so far this season.
