CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State sophomore Kindel Bailey placed 11^th in the javelin on Friday at the Beach Invitational at Long Beach State.

Bailey threw 146-6, just over three feet shy of the PR she set last week at the Sun Angel Classic in Tempe, Ariz., to pace three Beavers in the event. Junior school record-holder McKenzie Byrd took 15^th in 139-6, 11 feet shy of her record effort, also at the Sun Angel Classic.

The Beach Invitational concludes with a full day of action on Saturday.

The Bryan Clay Invitational at Azusa Pacific started on Thursday night with five Beavers running in the 5,000 meters.

Senior Morgan Anderson took 11^th in Heat 1, the fastest section, in 16:25.57. She improved her No. 3 all-time mark, set at the 2016 Pac-12 championships, by more than five seconds.

Sophomore Juliana Mount took 19^th in the same heat in 16:42.83 in her track debut at that distance. It was the No. 6 time in school history. Senior Emily Weber made her season debut and placed 10^th in Heat 2 in 16:51.24, a PR by six seconds.

On Friday, redshirt sophomore Gwyneth McMorris took sixth in her heat and 57^th overall in the 800 in 2:14.21. Anderson placed second in her heat and 25th overall in the 1500 in 4:23.65, less than a second off her No. 2 all-time clocking of 4:22.94. Juliana Mount (4:28.63), Kristiane Width (4-29.34/ and Nicole Goecke (4:39.03) also bettered their season-best times.

The Beavers set two current school records and have posted 28 all-time top-10 times or marks this season.

OSU competes at the Fresno State Invitational on April 22. It then hosts the annual High Performance Meet on April 28-29 at the Whyte Track & Field Center.
