Pac-12 Multis See Individual Successes For Buffs

PULLMAN- Senior Brock Emory and sophomore Abrianna Torres each won individual events and the Buffs were the only school other than Oregon to score four athletes in the multi-events competition marking a postitive finish to the first weekend of the Pac-12 Championships Outdoor Track Championships.

For the Buffs, the day was highlighted by solid individual performances in both the men's decathlon and women's heptathlon events. Most notable among them was the performances of both Emory, who set a new personal record in the 110-meter hurdles (15.10) and won the discus throw event (137-03), and Torres, who won the long jump event with an impressive 18-11.75.

Emory finished the competition fifth overall and fellow Buff Jason DeWitt eighth behind overall winner Dakotah Keys of Oregon.

On the women's side, Torres' solid performance in the long jump catapulted her to an eighth place finish in the women's heptathlon behind winner Amalie Iuel of USC. Buff Brittany Lewis finished just ahead of Torres in seventh while Ewelina Pena and Mariah Slack finished 11th and 12th respectively.

Overall, the Buffs set 20 combined personal bests over the weekend. Emory's 7,035 point finish was good enough for sixth place on the school's all-time best decathlon list. Lewis' 2:17.56 finish in the heptathlon's 800-meters was the third best in school history.

The Buff men are now in 3rd place in the conference and the women sixth going into the second and final weekend of the Pac-12 Championships which will resume this Saturday in Pullman (May 17 -18).
