Mitchell and McShane Set School Records in Eugene

EUGENE, Ore. – Kaylee Mitchell and Lindsay McShane each set a school record at the Hayward Premier on Friday and Saturday in what was an overall strong two days for the Oregon State track and field team.

"I felt that we really competed well," said head coach Louie Quintana. "We had several PRs, and Kaylee Mitchell broke the school record in the 5k and Lindsay McShane set the hammer record! We showed great balance and depth in a lot of events. I feel that we are close to some major breakthroughs, so this is a great step for us. Competing at the new Hayward Field was a cool experience for our group, one that we will definitely get used to."

Mitchell ran a 16:00.52 in the 5000m to set a new school record in the event, besting the previous outdoor mark of 16:05.04 set by Laura Carlyle on May 5, 2011. Mitchell finished ninth in the event.

McShane posted first-place finish in the hammer throw with a program record-setting distance of 63.48m.

Just behind McShane in the hammer throw for second was Sydney Guthrie-Baker with a throw of 59.62, second-best in program history.

Jordynn Slater and Anneke Moersdorf each claimed a second-place finish. Slater's came in the javelin with a distance of 48.08, while Moersdorf notched a 12.17m triple jump at the Hayward Premier.
