Reifenrath's school record moves her on to the NCAA Championships
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (USD) – On the final day of the NCAA West First Rounds in College Station, Texas, the Coyotes had their fourth qualifier for the NCAA Championships, and it came on a school record performance from Sara Reifenrath. Reifenrath, a senior from Hartington, Nebraska, broke her own 400-meter school record Thursday night to advance to Saturday's quarterfinal round race. She had to best her own record yet again Saturday to make the NCAA Championships in Eugene, and she did that by running 51.91 to place 11th. She became the first Coyote woman to run under 52 seconds with the performance Saturday. She also competed in the 200-meters, where her time of 23.36 placed her 17th. Also on the track Saturday, Averi Schmeichel ran a personal best 57.32 in the 400-meter hurdles that ranks her second in South Dakota history in the event. That time placed her 13th in the quarterfinal, missing on making the NCAA Championships by .18 seconds. In the field events, Lydia Knapp placed 36th in the discus with a throw of 165-7 (50.47m). She took 13th in the hammer throw on Thursday. Danii Anglin tied for 36th in the high jump with a 5-7 ¼ (1.71m) clearance. Four South Dakota track and field athletes will compete at the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon June 11-14. Tre Young represents the Coyote men in the pole vault. Anna Willis and Gen Hirata represent the Coyote women's pole vault squad and Reifenrath will compete in the 400-meters. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Arizona leader warns Diamondbacks could be poached by Utah
Last year, Utah swiped a professional sports team from Arizona. Now, there's concern from our southern neighbor that it could happen again. State of play: Arizona Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Danny Seiden appeared on the "The Mike Broomhead Show" this week to discuss legislative negotiations over a bill that would take sales tax money generated by the Arizona Diamondbacks and use it for ballpark renovations. What he said: "If we are not careful, we are going to see the Arizona Diamondbacks become the Utah Pika or whatever awful animal they will change it to," said Seiden, who supports the legislation. "They took our Coyotes and turned it into the Mastodon, Elephant or something. It is something terrible, I don't even want to say it. It hurts my heart. Some Utah nonsense," he said of Arizona's former NHL team, now called the Utah Mammoth. "We can't allow that to happen to the D-backs."
