April 03, 2016 | Women's Track & Field
STANFORD, Calif. – Freshman Juliana Mount ran the 8th-fastest 800 meters in school history on Saturday at the Stanford Invitational, capping a strong weekend in the Bay Area for the Oregon State track team's middle distance crew.
Mount placed fourth in her section in 2:12.03 and 44th overall in a strong field in her first outdoor 800 as a collegian. Her previous PR was 2:15.25 at the Portland Invitational on Feb. 4, the No. 2 indoor mark in school history.
Mount was the only Beaver to compete on Saturday. On Friday, junior Morgan Anderson took first in her section and cut more than a second off her all-time best by running 4:23.53, the second-fastest clocking in OSU history.
Also on Friday, Mount, junior Holly Cavalluzzo and sophomore Kristiane Width all ran lifetime bests in the 1500 at the San Francisco State Distance Carnival.
The Beavers will compete at the Sun Angel Invitational in Tempe and the John Knight Invitational at Western Oregon next weekend.
