SEATTLE – The Oregon State track & field team continued its strong start to the season at the UW Invite this weekend, notching 12 all-time marks along with two school records.
"Huge weekend for us," began head coach Louie Quintana. "We had a lot of rewriting of the record book."
Greta Van Calcar ran a school-record time in the 5,000 meters on Friday night. Van Calcar ran a blistering 16:46.75 taking 11th place overall, but surpassing the previous top time in OSU history by more than six seconds.
The previous holder of the school record in the 3,000 meters was senior Juliana Mount, and it was Mount who broke that record again today. Mount's previous record time of 9:33.62 was crushed by more than 10 seconds, 9:23.36.
The Beavers had a strong showing in the event placing two inside the top 10, and five inside of the top 20. All of the entrants today recorded all-time finishes.
"Keely McLaughlin was great this weekend in the weight throw and shot put," said Quintana. "Coach Dumble's group keeps getting better and better."
McLaughlin recorded a pair of top-three finishes in her two events. She placed second overall in the weight throw and a mark of 53-feet, 7.5-inches; the No. 2 all-time mark in OSU history. In the shot put, McLaughlin threw 45-feet, 6.25-inches for third place.
"We are starting to really emerge in the jumps and sprints too," said Quintana. "We have a young group that is starting to fire on all cylinders."
One of those newcomers finding success is Lauren Miller. Miller won her heat in the 200 meters, placing eighth overall, with a time of 25.14-seconds. In the 60 meters, Miller took third in her heat with a time of 7.98-seconds.
We are looking forward to getting our sprints, jumps and throws to New Mexico in a couple weeks, and the distance and pole vault crew back to UW."
Up Next
The Beavers are idle next week, but split duties between the Don Kirby Classic (Feb. 8-9) in New Mexico, and the Husky Classic (Feb. 8-9) in Seattle.
