LAST TIME OUT
Oregon State University's track and field team showcased impressive performances at the OSU High Performance Meet last weekend, piling up 24 season or personal best marks with four new OSU Top-10 performances. Two athletes recorded marks that put them in regional qualifying position while three others put themselves in the neighborhood.
 
Claire Lee, a freshman, cleared 3.64m/11-11.25 in the pole vault, a collegiate best in spite of some difficult vaulting weather in the early morning. Anneke Moersdorf missed her own school record by just three-quarters of an inch in the long jump, winning in 6.15m/20-2.25.
 
Adael Scatena had the first day's best sprint results, notching a 58.10 to improve OSU's no. 2 time. The senior edged fellow senior Kate Sorensen (58.20) for the victory. Both runners appear to be safely into regionals with their marks.
 
Delaney Griffin opened the distance carnival with a victory in the open 5,000 meters, recording a season-best mark of 17:06.57. The 5,000 meters was OSU's best event of the carnival as Sage Brooks and Kate Laurent both improved their top-10 standing and Brooks potentially punched her ticket to NCAA West Regionals in the invite section. Brooks 16:06.24 mark is OSU's fifth-best all-time, a personal best by 10 seconds and moves her into the west's top-48. Laurent moved into the no. 7 spot all time and set a PR by seven seconds with a 16:15.92.
 
Sara Sanders started the day off with a new season best in javelin, throwing 46.85m/153-08 to secure second place. The mark ranks 47th in the west, currently a regional qualifier.
 
COMING UP
Oregon State will head west to Boulder, Colorado to compete in the Pac-12 Championships May 10-12.
