LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Kaylee Mitchell crushed the school record in the 3,000m steeplechase as the Oregon State track and field team finished day two of the 2021 Pac-12 Championships on Saturday.
 
"We had a great day today," said head coach Louie Quintana. "We had athletes really step up to another level. How about Delaney (Bahn) getting up for 7th in the long jump and Taylor (Crockem) scoring in the shot put, such great competitors.

"We had a huge day in the steeple. It was a fast steeple. Kaylee (Mitchell) and Grace (Fetherstonhaugh) running sub-10 is great. Kaylee's time qualifies her for the Olympic trials. That will be so cool to see a Beaver lining up at the trials next month. I can't tell you how proud I am of this team."
 
Through two days and seven scored events, Oregon is leading the women's team standings with 56 points. Washington is second with 43 and Arizona State has 37 in third. OSU is seventh with a total of 21 points.
 
The tandem of Mitchell and Grace Fetherstonhaugh continued their success on the track this season in the 3,000m steeplechase. Sitting in third for much of the race, Mitchell fell back to fourth but regained her position at third to cross the finish line in a school record time of 9:48.30. She obliterated the previous record of 9:57.40, which she set earlier this season. Fetherstonhaugh registered an outstanding performance in the race to finish fifth with a new PR and the second-best time in program history, 9:54.60.
 
Mitchell and Fetherstonhaugh earned the Beavers a combined 10 team points.
 
Delaney Bahn eanred two team points for OSU with her seventh-place finish in the long jump with a new PR distance of 6.05m. Taylor Crockem also locked in a seventh-place finish on the second day, throwing 15.19m to score two points for Oregon State.
 
Claire Corbitt and Anneke Moersdorf had a strong showing on day two in the heptathlon. Corbitt notched PRs in all three of the events on the day – long jump (5.90m), javelin (31.00m), and 800m (2:28.95) – to finish 10th with 4976 points. Moersdorf tallied a PRs of 34.27m in the javelin and a finish of 2:25.70, finishing the heptathlon 12th with 4891 points.
 
Next up: The Pac-12 Championships conclude tomorrow with the final day of events, beginning with the men's discus at 1:15 pm (PT). Sunday's events can be watched on the Pac-12 Network, Pac-12.com, and Pac-12 Now app.
