In the same section, Bison freshman Klara Lyon placed second, and sophomore Lauren Gietzen took third. Both cleared a personal-best height of 12-05.50 (3.80m), and they are now tied for sixth in NDSU indoor history in the pole vault.
Benke vaulted 12-09.50 (3.90m) on Saturday.
Stangl is tied for second in The Summit League this season in the event, while Benke ranks fifth.
