Foote Breaks School Record to Highlight MPSF Championships
February 29, 2020 | Women's Track & Field
SEATTLE – Oregon State Track & Field closed out the indoor season with the MPSF Championships inside the Dempsey Indoor Center on Saturday.
Over the course of the two-day meet, senior Alyssa Foote broke the school record in the 5K while many other athletes notched personal-bests to shift around the record books.
Foote highlighted the weekend by clocking in at 16:37.74 in the 5K and finishing in eighth place. Her time places her at the top of the all-time list in the event and improved her previous time by ten seconds.
"This weekend was a good piece to the puzzle that we are putting together at Oregon State," head coach Louie Quintana said.
Meagen Lowe blazed ahead in the 3000-meter race and set a new personal-best on Saturday with a time of 9:31.02 to finish in eighth place.
"I was super proud of the distance women," Quintana said. "We just keep getting so much better. Meagen scoring as a freshman was clutch so we're excited to get the outdoor season rolling."
Ann Wingeleth provided another stellar showing in the long jump by scoring with a fifth-place finish and a mark of 5.76m. Emma Nelson tallied a personal-best mark in the triple jump with a clearance of 11.35m and finished in 14th place.
Taylor Crockem added a PR mark of her own with a throw of 14.29m (46-10.75) in the shot put to finish in 12th place.
Tarisa Olinski continues to improve as she set another personal-best in the 400m with a time of 56.70 for sole possession of third place on the all-time list. Olinski previously set a PR in the event at the Husky Classic earlier this season.
Claire Corbitt and Maddie McHone both notched PR's in the pentathlon on day one. Corbitt clocked in at 8.96 in the 60-meter hurdles for sixth place while McHone followed in ninth.
Lindsay McShane posted a season-best mark of 16.37m (53-8.5) in the weight throw.
NEXT UP: The Beavers turn their attention to the outdoor season which begins with the Lewis & Clark Spring Break Invite on March 21 in Portland, OR.
