CORVALLIS – The Oregon State track and field team wrapped up a busy weekend on Saturday at the Don Kirby and Husky Classics.

The Beavers accumulated eight all-time marks or times during the day, which included every entrant into the mile getting their name in the record books.

Freshman Mari Friedman was the top finisher for the Beavers in the mile running a time of 4:53.84 for a 27^th place overall finish. Friedman's time moved her to No. 5 all-time for Oregon State. Lexi Reed was close behind Freidman finishing in 28^th overall, and No. 6 in the OSU record books, with a time of 4:54.08.

Grace Fetherstonhaugh and Haley Wolf finished in 31^st and 33^rd place respectively. Fetherstonhaugh ran the eight-best time in school history at 4:54.94, while Wolf finished with the 10^th-fastest time of 4:55.68.

The throwing crew had another great outing in the shot put on Saturday morning. Keely McLaughlin improved her No. 2 all-time distance for Oregon State with a throw of 47-feet, 5.75-inches, finishing in second place in her flight.

Jessica Molina captured the top spot of her flight with a throw of 45-feet, 1.5-inches. Her mark was the fourth-best indoor shot put throw in school history.

A pair of freshman jumpers made their mark on the history books in the triple jump in Darien Hageman and Emma Nelson. Both Hageman and Nelson now sit at No. 7 all-time for OSU with jumps of 36-feet, 4-inches.
