Beavs Wrap Up Pac-12 Championships with Two in Top Five

BOULDER, Colo. - Kate Sorensen and Jade Whitfield worked to place themselves among the top five in the Pac after the final day of the 2024 Pac-12 Championships.

Oregon State received nine points from the 400m hurdles and discus. The Beavs finished in 11th place with 23 points but were in the hunt to move up, finishing only 10 points behind eighth place.

"Last Pac-12s with the traditional schools in the books. A lot to celebrate with this program and some great highlights today," head coach Louie Quintana said. "A school record in the 4x100 and near school record in 4x400 to close it out. Kate was incredible with her 56.88 school record in the 400m hurdles. She's got a very exciting next month ahead of her. Jade closed out our scoring in the discus. he's had a brilliant career for the Beavs. I'm sad that this chapter is over with the Pac-12, but we're ready to start some new memories in 2025."

Four of the Oregon State's points came from Jade Whitfield in the discus. The junior finished with a throw of 55.97m/183-7, placing her fifth in the Pac. Whitfield missed her second-place distance from last year by just under two meters but a loaded field would have made it difficult to move up. Katie Gelston competed with a throw of 48.10m/157-9, putting her in 15th. Caitlyn Marx finished in 20th with a distance of 39.80m/130-7.

The next four of the Beavs' points came from Kate Sorensen. Sorensen finished the 400m hurdles with a time of 56.88, improving the school record that she already held. The senior was already qualified for U.S. Olympic Trials and NCAA West Prelims coming into the weekend.

The 4x100m relay team shaved over a second and a half off their previous best to claim the title as school record holders. Delaney Bahn, Jada Hurley, Abby Buckley and Sorensen raced for a time of 45.44, finishing 10th overall. Three of the four also contributed to the previous school best, set at the OSU PNW Meet.

Sage Brooks led OSU in the 5,000 meters, finishing 20th with a time of 17:37.55. Erika Cunniam moved up five spots from her pre-meet conference ranking, finishing in 17:45.42 in 22nd. Improving 15 places from her pre-meet ranking, Delaney Griffin finished in 29th with a time of 18:01.56.
