Of the team's 14 athletes in the field, five Bulldogs earned all-conference honors during last weekend's 2017 Mountain West Indoor Track & Field Championships.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Mountain West announced its women's indoor track and field all-conference team on Monday. Five Fresno State individuals were named All-MW.
The announcement comes after the Mountain West Indoor Track and Field Championships that were held Feb. 23-25 at the Albuquerque Convention Center. The all-conference first team consists of the top three finishers in each event and the all-conference first team relay teams consist of the top three team finishers in each relay.
The first three to garner honors were the Bulldogs' three MW champions: Tiffany Gilmore, Jestena Mattson and Annemarie Schwanz. Gilmore won the weight throw with a new personal record and fifth-best mark in MW championship history at 20.10m, hit the mark on her fourth throw of the event. Mattson broke the Fresno State record in the pentathlon with 3,828 points as she became the school's first multis athlete to win the event at the MW Championship. After finishing third a year ago, Schwanz broke through to win the mile during her final year with a school-record time of 4:42.68.
Also earning all-conference honors in the weight throw was  Aisiah Tuiasosopo who placed second, behind Gilmore, with personal best throw of 19.67m. Maja Pogorevc rounded out Fresno State's group of five as she placed third in the 400m with a new PR of 54.70. Â
