Montana State's Hailey Coey, Drake Wilkes set school records at Bobcat PReview season-opener
BOZEMAN — A pair of school records and a standout day in the women’s pole vault highlighted a slew of eye-popping performances from the Montana State track and field team in their Bobcat PReview season-opener inside Worthington Arena on Thursday.
Drake Wilkes’ record in the men’s 60 meters and Hailey Coey’s record in the women’s triple jump headlined the day, but the two top marks were far from the only head-turning results.
“I think across the board we’re in a really good place with our entire team which is exciting,” head coach Lyle Weese said. “We had some standout performances and events like the women’s pole vault, pretty special having three go over 13 feet in the first meet. That was really exciting. School records for Hailey in the triple jump and Drake in the 60, so it was quite a first meet.”
Wilkes, making his Bobcat debut on the track after joining the team over the offseason, made quite the first impression.
The Austin, Texas, native clocked a converted time of 6.79 to rewrite the Montana State record in the 60 meters, beating out his new teammate Noah Barbery, who set the record last year in 6.80 seconds.
In the jumps, Coey started her day with a leap of 20-00.50 in the long jump to move up to No. 3 all time. The Billings native became one of just three women in program history to clear 20 feet in the indoor long jump, joining Lacy Hinzpeter (2000) and Janet Buntin (1983).
Later, Coey outdid herself in the triple jump.
With the current school record holder, Erin Jones-Graf, watching and measuring the event, Coey’s fourth jump went 40-03.25 — breaking Jones-Graf’s record of 40-00 set in 2004.
After Coey’s celebration with teammates and coaches, Jones-Graf was the next to greet the new school record holder with a congratulatory embrace.
In the final event of the night, a trio of Bobcat pole vaulters remarkably all cleared 13 feet.
Led by Tatum Richards’ final clearance of 13-05.75, Libby Hansen and Megan Bell also cleared 13-01.75, with the jumps of all three coming in succession as they fed off each other’s energy and momentum.
Richards’ mark propels the Emmett, Idaho, product to No. 3 all-time in MSU history, with Hansen and Bell both now tied for sixth in the record books.
In the sprints, Peyton Garrison picked right up from a strong outdoor season last spring, running a blistering converted time of 7.52 in the women’s 60 meters to win the event and move up to third all-time at Montana State.
Racing alongside Wilkes’ record-breaking performance, Xavier Simpson clocked a converted time of 6.86 to tie for sixth in program history, building on his previous best time by a hundredth of a second.
Over in the throwing cage, Jenavieve Lynch unleashed a massive heave of 59-10.25 in the women’s weight throw. The second-best throw by a Bobcat since 2012 was good enough to move the Bozeman High standout up to seventh in program history.
“Today was the product of a lot of hard work for our sprints, jumps, and throws squad from this summer and fall,” Weese said. “They showed today that we’re in a really good place as a team, so we’re excited to start the indoor season so strong and think about what we can do in January and February.”
Prior to the 4×400 meter relays, the 2024 Big Sky Men’s Outdoor Track and Field championship team was honored with a tribute and the unveiling of the championship banner in the northeast corner of Worthington Arena.

Public Meeting at Hub on Smith Concerning Montana Water Call Prompting Priority Administration in Tongue Basin
Wyoming State Engineer Brandon Gebhart announced that on May 5, 2026, the State of Montana placed a call under Article V(A) of the Yellowstone River Compact to fill Tongue River Reservoir in Montana. As a result, priority administration is in effect on post-1950 water rights in Wyoming that divert water from the Tongue River and its tributaries and are not excluded from the compact.
A public meeting will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 18, in the dining room of The Hub on Smith. Attendees are asked to enter on the north side of the building.
The Tongue River Basin has been experiencing drought conditions over the past year with historically low winter snowpack and streamflow conditions. According to the release, those conditions led to Montana’s interstate call and prompted the administration of the Tongue River Basin in Wyoming.
The priority administration will affect post-1950 water rights within the Tongue River Basin, including reservoir storage, stream diversions and groundwater withdrawals, all of which affect river flows. Post-1950 water rights will be regulated off or prevented from turning on. Wyoming hydrographer-commissioners will continue to administer reservoir storage and post-1950 diversions throughout the spring and work with affected water users until the administration is lifted.
As provided in the compact, domestic uses less than one-half acre in area and livestock uses, including stock reservoirs less than 20 acre-feet in capacity, are excluded from this administration. The release noted these excluded rights could be subject to future regulation to satisfy priority calls by senior Wyoming water rights.
Beginning May 5, 2026, Wyoming hydrographer-commissioners have worked to record the current storage levels of reservoirs with post-1950 water rights. Going forward, those reservoirs can continue to accrue storage so long as post-1950 storage gained after the interstate call on May 5 remains in storage until either the water is released to satisfy the Montana call or Montana lifts the call because Tongue River Reservoir will fill.
Reservoirs with unfulfilled pre-1950 water rights can continue to store water and that storage will not be subject to release to satisfy Montana’s call. However, that storage and other direct flow rights could be subject to regulation to satisfy priority calls by senior Wyoming water rights.
The priority administration will be carried out pursuant to state law by hydrographer-commissioners assigned to various portions of the Tongue River Basin, working under the direction of Division II Superintendent David Schroeder.
The Wyoming State Engineer’s Office can be contacted at:
Jack Morey, deputy state engineer, 307-777-5032, jack.morey2@wyo.gov
David Schroeder, Division II superintendent, 307-674-7012, d.schroeder@wyo.gov
