RAPID CITY, S.D. --- The South Dakota School of Mines indoor track and field team will be traveling to Colorado Springs, CO this weekend to compete in the RMAC Indoor Championship. The meet will take place on the campus of the University of Colorado Colorado Springs on Friday and Saturday.

The 'Rockers did well last weekend at the Stinger Open at Black Hills State. Jayla Jarnagin (weight throw) and Morgan Thompson (high jump) took first in their events. Danny Conlisk (400 meter), Wyatt Kainz (high jump) and Westley Siebdrath (weight throw) all placed second for the Hardrockers.
