Ader also had success in the track events, especially in the 60m hurdles. Ader broke the school record in the event with a time of 8.46, which earned her second place.

Sauer earned her award in the track events category after winning the 600m run with a time of 1:31.97. At the Bronco Invitational, Sauer just passed her opponents as she beat the second place runner by only 0.46 seconds. 

With her finish, Sauer also broke the school record in the event. With her first place finish and record breaking time, there were three first place finishes and two all-time school records broken in the first meet of the season.

The Pack will look to continue its success as they travel back to Boise this week when it competes in the Ed Jacoby Invitational from Jan. 24-25.
