Beavers Add 12 Athletes in 2020 Signing Class
July 01, 2020 | Women's Track & Field
CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Oregon State track and field program has added 12 student-athletes to its roster as part of its 2020 signing class, head coach Louie Quintana announced Wednesday.
"Obviously, this has been an interesting year not only for our athletes, but for the High School athletes that we have recruited to be a part of our emerging program at Oregon State," Quintana said. "These athletes were unable to compete during their senior year, but still bring strong accolades and a wealth of big meet experience to OSU. This class is Jump heavy and Coach Pete Herber has continued to do an amazing job identifying quality pieces in the jump events that will change the fortunes of this team. Associate Head Coach Dave Dumble did a great job identifying specialty athletes, pulling in great Javelin throwers and one of the best Discus and Hammer throwers in the country. Finally, we are bringing in two Oregon High School distance runners who we believe, in time, will have a major impact on our Cross Country and Track team.
"We feel very fortunate as a staff to have put this group together. They now merge with the highly successful and deep Classes of 2018 and 2019 to give us one of the best and most well rounded teams we have ever seen at Oregon State."
