LAST TIME OUT
Oregon State Track and Field wrapped up a standout weekend in California with numerous personal bests and all-time program marks. Jillian Brown led the way at the Stanford Invitational, running 2:07.23 in the 800 meters to move to No. 3 in school history and later helped the 4x400 relay to the fourth-fastest time ever at OSU.

Ainsley Herron and Jamie Hamlin added all-time top-10 performances, Herron finishing 4:22.19 in the 1,500 meters for sixth in OSU history and Hamlin posting sixth in school history with a 10:33.99 finish in the steeplechase. The sprints crew posted strong efforts, including a 56.74 from Addison Swartzendruber in the 400, good for seventh in program history.

The Beavers also shined in the field and throws. Maryann Ackerman became OSU's all-time leader in the javelin with a 52.38m/171-10 throw at the Triton Invitational, leading a 1-2-4 finish with Isabelle Esler and Sara Sanders. Katie Gelston moved to third all-time in the discus with a throw of 53.04m/174-0.

Mia Fowler claimed a pole vault win with a 3.67m clearance. Grace Proudfoot and Riley Patera earned wins at the Mike Fanelli Classic in the high jump and 100 meters, respectively.

OSU's depth was on display across events with a flurry of personal bests: Sydney Partyka, Meagen Lowe, Jamie Hamlin, and Jenna O'Beirne all dropped time in the 800, while Katie Kopec cut 19 seconds off her 5,000-meter best. The 4x100 relay placed third (49.61), and the 400 featured personal bests from Ruby Lorenz and Ava McKee.
