The Bemidji State University women’s track and field team received invites by six student-athletes to take part in five events during the 60th annual Mt. SAC Relays held at El Camino College in Torrance, Calif. The annual Mt.

BSU will travel Cheri’A Adams, Jada Barker, Christa Benson, Kelsey Hurley, Venice Stewart and Aneesa Tucker to compete against the top competition in the country.
