The Fort Hays State University men’s track and field team competed at the MIAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Joplin, Mo. on Mar. 28-Feb. 2. Pole vaulters Brady Tien and Brett Ottley both improved provisional marks that they had set earlier this season. Tien’s new provisional mark came with a vault of 16’2” and Ottley’s new mark was set at 15’10″. Tien finished in fourth place and Ottley tied for sixth in a tough field that saw all 12 competitors that posted a height meet or exceed the NCAA Division II pole vault provisional mark. source
