BOZEMAN — For the first time since 1988, there's a new Big Sky Conference outdoor track and field championships shot put record.
In her fifth attempt at last week's meet in Gresham, Ore., Montana State's Sydney Brewster recorded a throw of 17.07 meters (56 feet, 0 inches). That attempt was over seven feet more than the second-place mark.
At the Big Sky championships, Brewster also finished first in discus with a mark of 46.15 meters (151 feet, 5 inches).
But Brewster's no stranger to breaking records.
She broke her own school record in shot put during the indoor season at the Bengal Invitational in January with a throw of 16.81 meters (55 feet, 2 inches).
Despite her already high marks, Brewster's throwing coach, Jen Allen, believes the junior's best throw is yet to come.
