Beavers Set to Host High Performance Meet
April 25, 2018 | Women's Track & Field
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Former Olympians and Oregon State's strongest team since the program's reinstatement will compete at the sixth annual High Performance Meet this Friday and Saturday at the Whyte Track & Field Center.
Approximately 700 competitors are expected for the event, which has evolved from modest beginnings to become the jewel of OSU's outdoor season, and one of the premier regular-season meets in the Pacific Northwest.
"We are becoming a go to place for this time of the season," OSU coach Louie Quintana said. "It's great for the community to come out and support Oregon State Track & Field and we want to continue to expand the event with new ideas each year."
25 teams are expected to be in attendance spanning all levels of collegiate athletics. Teams competing are Oregon State, Oregon, Gonzaga, Colorado, Idaho, Portland State and more.
"We are excited to unveil our new hammer cage in "Throwvallis," said Quintana. "Also, this year we have added a middle school 800M Corvallis Challenge and the Spring Six, a 6K road race on Saturday morning to enhance the community experience.
"Hopefully at next year's iteration we can keep expanding our ideas to make our event even more unique and exciting."
This is the fourth year of a two-day meet, which starts on Friday afternoon with an expanded Distance Carnival, the pole vault, the hammer and the discus. The Distance Carnival includes the 1,500 and 5,000-meter races, and the 3,000-meter steeplechase.
Saturday's competition starts at 10 a.m. with the javelin. The first track event is the 4x100 relay at 1 p.m.
The High Performance Meet is the lone home appearance for the Beavers, who have set three school records since starting the outdoor campaign at the Lewis & Clark Spring Break Open on March 16. They also have posted 18 all-time top-10 times or marks.
Current Oregon State record holders; Destiny Dawson holds the school record in the javelin, 168-9. Jessica Molina reclaimed the school record from Lindsay McShane (180-9) last weekend with a throw of 183-11 in the hammer throw.
