LOS ANGELES – A school record that has stood for 35 years has been broken thanks to Oregon State track and field's Keely McLaughlin during the team's performance at the Beach Invite on Saturday.

It was a busy weekend for the Beavers that saw them competing at four different competitions across the Los Angeles area; Mt. Sac Relays, Pacific Coast Intercollegiate, Bryan Clay Invitational, Beach Invite.

McLaughlin, competing at the Beach Invite, took the record for herself after tying Kam Johnson for the best shot put mark in OSU history a couple weeks ago. The redshirt freshman from Oklahoma finished in 11^th place with her record-setting throw of 50-feet, 2-inches. Freshman Taylor Crockem (23^rd) managed a top 25 finish with her best throw of 47-feet, 2.25-inches, while Jessica Molina and Sydney Guthrie-Baker placed in 40^th and 48^th respectively.

Wyoming native Ann Wingeleth grabbed a fourth place finish in the high jump, and the eighth-best jump of all-time at Oregon State. Wingeleth cleared 5-feet, 8.75-inches on her second attempt and missed on all attempts at the next height.

The Beavers lone entrant into the triple jump leaped her way into the school record books with the fourth-best triple jump in OSU's history. True freshman Emma Nelson managed 38-feet, 0-inches on her second attempt for 26^th overall place.

Oregon State's distance crew managed a couple all-time finishes on Friday evening at the conclusion of the Bryan Clay Invitational.

Lexi Reed now ranks No. 8 all-time in the 1,500 meters after running a 4-minute, 28.32-second time. She is the first to crack the top 10 since Morgan Anderson in 2017.

Sophomore Rebecca Ledsham, OSU's only entrant into the 800 meters, finished her race in 2-minutes, 11.57-seconds for the eighth-fastest time in the school's history.
