UO release – FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – In a productive day at the Arkansas Qualifier, the Women of Oregon picked up two wins, had three top-five program performances and strengthen their national event rankings in the mile and distance-medley relay. In addition to the win, the UO quartet of Klaudia Kazimierska (3:17.17), Ella Clayton (52.94), Mia Moerck (2:08.29) and Izzy Thornton-Bott (4:30.68) combined for the third-fastest time in collegiate history and a new Randal Tyson Track Center facility record. The Women of Oregon carried a season best of 11:04.73 into the meet and sat outside the top-12 national qualifying list. Friday’s race featured three teams under 10:50 with the Ducks holding off host Arkansas (10:49.14) and BYU (10:49.24). Oregon is now the only team in collegiate history with two sub-10:50 efforts to go along with the 2017 squad (10:48.77) that held the NCAA record until earlier this month. Just over four hours later, Kazimierska and Thornton-Bott were back on the track, and joined by Maddy Elmore, for a 1-2-4 finish in the mile. Kazimierska took over the final 100 meters of the race for the win in 4:32.03, followed closely by a 4:32.69 effort by Thornton-Bott. Based on times entering the weekend, those are the ninth- and 10th-fastest times in the NCAA this season. Kazimierska’s time also makes her the No. 2 performer in program history. Thornton-Bott knocked her lifetime best down with Friday’s effort and Elmore, a Eugene native, crossed the line in 4:35.65, another personal best for the UO women. In their first individual event of the afternoon, the Ducks got an indoor best from Ella Nelson in the 800 meters. Nelson lowered her lifetime best 2:06.51 and finished fourth overall; she entered the meet with a previous best of 2:06.98 from the Husky Classic last weekend. OSU release – FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Oregon State’s three jumpers finished in the top-three of all three events they competed in on Friday at Arkansas. “We keep taking steps forward which is what we want to be doing this time of year,” Oregon State sprints and jumps coach Pete Herber said. “We’re really close to getting some bigger jumps so it was important to get these competitive reps. I’m excited to see what this group can do next week in Seattle.” The Beavs got a pair of runner-up finishes from Anneke Moersdorf in the long jump and triple jump. The redshirt junior moved into second on the Oregon State all-time list with a 6.05m/19-10.25 leap in the long jump. She also neared her own school record in the triple jimp with a 12.37m/40-7. Emma Nelson recorded a third-place result in the high jump, passing the bar at 1.75m/5-8.75, just shy of her season high. Delaney Bahn, fresh off setting the school long jump record in Albuquerque, recorded a 4.81m/15-9.5 in the event. Up next, the Beavs will have one more chance to post national qualifying marks at the Ken Shannon Invite on Feb. 24-25 in Seattle.
