Montana sophomore Matt Quist of Kalispell turned a career-best effort in the high jump Friday evening in Bozeman into a Big Sky Conference Athlete of the Week award on Monday.

Quist, the men’s field winner of the four-athlete award, went 6 feet, 10.75 inches to win the high jump and move into a tie atop the Big Sky performance list in the event.

It was the first career Athlete of the Week honor for Quist and the first indoor track and field Athlete of the Week award for the Montana men’s program since Joey Frank, a thrower, was recognized in 2010.

Quist, who entered the season with a collegiate best of 6-6.75, had gone 6-8.75 or 6-9 three times this season before breaking through to a new height at Montana State’s last-chance qualifier on Friday.
