Newcomer Alexandria Coleman earned a pentathlon title to lead the Bemidji State University track and field team as it opened its 2016-17 indoor season at The Opener, hosted by the College of St. Scholastica. The senior won two of the five events to earn a 40-point victory.

BSU’s new additions performed well, leading the way for a young Beavers team. In addition to Coleman, Savanah Olson placed second in the shot put and Vanessa Rae Lopez took third in the mile. All three are in their first season as a member of BSU’s track and field team.

The Beavers return to Bemidji, Minn. to host the Super 8 Open at the Gillett Recreation and Fitness Center, January 14.
