Marchant cleared 3.85m, which tied her for second place.
Nuttall cleared 1.79m to win silver, one year after winning gold at nationals.
鈥淓mma is disappointed with her performance, but I鈥檓 not,鈥� said Spartans coach Laurier Primeau.
鈥淔or her to come top two in the country speaks to the work she has put in and also the direction our program is going.鈥�
The Spartans women鈥檚 team finished with 39.25 points, which placed them sixth in the country. The Spartans men鈥檚 team finished 17th overall with eight points.
鈥淭rack and field is a funny sport in that you can be elated and disappointed at the same time and I think there was plenty of both of those emotions this weekend,鈥� Primeau said.
鈥淲e had some competitors who rose above expectations and overall, it鈥檚 such a great thing to see how much our program has grown in one year.鈥�
