DENVER ? A scoring error that occurred at the WAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships has affected the outcome of the women’s team results, and is explained below.
The original results in the women’s shot put showed a tie for seventh place between Fresno State’s Kayla Xavier and Idaho’s Martha Hale, who both earned marks of 45’ 8.50” (13.93m). However, after incorporating tie-breaking procedures, the field series confirms that Xavier was seventh with a second-best throw of 44’ 11” (13.69m) and Hale was eighth with a second-best throw of 43’ 6.50” (13.27m). In team scoring, the resulting change gives Fresno State 122 points and Idaho 121.50 points, thus moving Fresno State into second place and Idaho into third.
Taking into account the scoring error and the resulted changes, the new team scores are as follows:
1. Louisiana Tech 173
2. Fresno State 122
3. Idaho 121.5
4. Utah State 100
5. Nevada 91
6. Hawai’i 74.5
7. New Mexico State 71.5
8. Boise State 64.5
