SEATTLE, Wash. – Lizzie Hatton and Emma Nelson secured the first wins of 2023 in the 200 meters and high jump to highlight a strong day for the Beavs at the UW Preview.

In addition to Nelson and Hatton's victories, Oregon State athletes posted six PRs in their return to the track. Six Beavers made the podium with top-three results.

"That was definitely our best opening indoor meet ever. We were competitive, tenacious and we came out of the meet full of confidence and excitement for the rest of the season," said head coach Louie Quintana. "Individually, we had a lot of bright spots. Great opener for Taylor and Keely in the shot. Our high jumpers competed great - Emma was fantastic. Lizzie Hatton continues to shine with her great 60 and win in the 200, and I was really happy with Taylor Weidinger. She had a day and she is coming along so well. You know it's a good day when it's impossible to recognize everyone."

The OSU sprinters and hurdlers appeared to be carrying the day early on, qualifying three for the finals in both the 60-meter dash and 60-meter hurdles. Taylor Weidinger moved up to no. 6 on the OSU Top 10 with a 7.74 during the 60m prelims.

Hatton and Jada Hurley each posted PRs in the 60-meter dash finals, crossing in 7.61 and 7.64 seconds respectively to place second and third. Adael Scatena and Anneke Moersdorf matched the third and fourth place finishes with PRs of their own in the hurdles, finishing in 8.74 and 8.77 seconds.

Things picked up in the field events throughout the day. Keely McLaughlin had a pair of sixth place results in the weight throw (15.51m/50-10.75) and shot put (14.52m/47-07.75). Taylor Crockem added a personal best in the shot put with a 14.46m/47-5.25 put.

Nelson continued OSU's momentum in the field by winning the high jump, her first win of the year after placing second at the Spokane Indoor in December. She was just three-quarters of an inch from a PR with a 5-9.25 leap that earned the win.

Hatton returned to the track at the end of the day to lock up her first collegiate victory. The freshman raced to a 25.32 in the 200 meters, narrowly outpacing Washington's Danielle Hunter and her teammate Hurley.

Oregon State closed the day with a strong 4x400m relay. The 'A' group of Scatena, Paige Sefried, Weidinger and Mari Friedman placed third with the no. 9 time in OSU history (3:53.91).

With another meet under their belt, the Beavs have two weeks to train before embarking on a split squad weekend. OSU will have competitors at both the UW Invite and the Razorback Invite on the weekend of Jan. 27-28.
