Montana has recently seen a huge, impressive rise in a lot of different departments, but sports is going for number one.

The Frontier Conference has announced this week's Erck Hotels Men's Outdoor Track and Field Athletes of the Week, and Montana Tech's Cade VanVleet once again captures the prize. For the third straight week, the sophomore from Noxon has been named the Field Athlete of the Week. Amazingly enough, highlighted by a different event, again.

Montana Tech Football has released the 2024 schedule, and the season will start with a bang.

Butte is not known for its crime, though crime rates here have reached 47 violent crime offenders per 1000 residents, putting it well above the national average of 38 per 1000. Point is, no place is absolved from crime. Case in point: on March 20th, 2024, a high-level employee at Butte's Montana Tech was taken into custody.

Break out the portable grills and blow the dust off of those cornhole boards and join the fun at the Montana Tech Alumni Association's tailgate party which is scheduled to start at 4:30pm in front of the new Student Success Center which is directly across from the HPER complex. This will be a great chance to enjoy the Spring weather and enjoy some camaraderie with other like-minded Oredigger fans before their biggest game of the season thus far.

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced that the Orediggers of Montana Tech would be one of the 16 host sites where the first and second-round games of the National Championship, presented by Ballogy, would be played.

The Orediggers are the No. 3 seed in the Naismith Quadrant and will play the 14th seed Pioneers from Wayland Baptist. The other matchup in Butte has the 11th-seeded Warriors of Lewis Clark State taking on the 6-seed Hope International (California).
