FARGO, N.D. – North Dakota's throwers kicked off the Bison Open on Thursday by competing in the hammer throw. Kenna Curry was the story of the meet, improving her No. 2 throw in school history while also breaking the facility record.

Curry won the women's section with a personal-best toss of 222-3 (67.74m). That throw not only improved her No. 6 throw in the NCAA and her No. 2 mark on the UND top-10 list, but set a new Terrence Dahl & Donna Beres Track Complex facility record. The previous facility record was 213-8 (65.14m), set by Amy Phillips, an unattached athlete at North Dakota State, at the 2023 NDSU Tune-Up.

Three other Fighting Hawks joined Curry in the hammer throw and also placed. Eve Goldstein finished fifth with a PR toss of 173-11 (53.01m). Julia Matthews placed sixth and had a personal best of 172-10 (52.68m). Kaylynn Red Tomahawk took eighth with a mark of 163-7 (49.88m).
