CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State Track and Field heads north for its second outdoor meet of the season, traveling up I-5 to Salem for the Willamette Invitational.

Live results will be available here.

LAST TIME OUT
Jade Whitfield highlighted a strong start to the 2023 outdoor track and field season by outpacing the previous school record in the discus by nearly six feet at Saturday's Oregon Preview. The redshirt sophomore's 182-foot, 9-inch toss outpaced her previous PR by more than 14 feet and gave her one of Oregon State's six wins on the day.

Whitfield was one of several Beaver throwers to have a strong day. Markayla Billings placed second in the hammer throw with the no. 3 mark in school history: 58.10m/190-7. Ella Knott also improved an OSU Top-10 mark with a 46.67m/153-01 in her first javelin throw of the season, going on to finish second. Keely McLaughlin (14.63/48-0) and Taylor Crockem (14.62m/47-11.75) earned a 1-2 finish in the shot put for the Beavs.

On the track, Oregon State highlighted an outstanding day with two top-10 times in the 4x100 meter relay and a 1-2 finish. The 'A' relay of Taylor Weidinger, Ava Gross, Abby Buckley and Treasure Rinaldi won with a 47.11 while Chelsea Howard, Jada Hurley, Kylee Nelson, Delaney Bahn combined for a 47.25 and second place.

Hurley and Adael Scatena each won individual events on the track. Hurley took the 100-meter title with a 12.19 while Scatena ran the second-best 400 meters in school history with a 55.32. Weidinger was the runner up in the 400 and her 56.93 ranks eighth all-time at OSU.

UP NEXT
