TUCSON – Redshirt freshman Keely McLaughlin again set the school record in the shot put today as the Oregon State track and field team wrapped up competition at the Pac-12 Conference Championship at Roy P. Drachman Stadium on the campus of the University of Arizona.

McLaughlin was one of seven Oregon State student-athletes to finish in the top eight earning team points for the Beavers. Freshman Grace Fetherstonhaugh (3K steeplechase), Lindsay McShane (hammer throw), Saskia McNairy (Long Jump), Ann Wingeleth (Long Jump), Keely McLaughlin (shot put), Taylor Crockem (shot put) helped OSU finish with the second highest point total since the program's reinstatement with 23 points in 11^th place.

The Oregon State record in the shot put, previously held by McLaughlin, stood at 50-feet, 2-inches. She broke that today in her first throw of the finals reaching 50-feet, 4.75-inches and scoring four team points for OSU. Another redshirt freshman, Taylor Crockem, earned team points for the Beavers with a sixth place finish. Crockem tied the previous school record and now sits No. 2 on the all-time list at 50-feet, 2-inches.

The Beavers had another pair of placers in the long jump with McNairy and Wingeleth. Placing fourth and fifth respectively, the pair totaled nine points for OSU. McNairy improved her No. 4 all-time mark with her third jump at 19-feet, 8.75-inches. Wingeleth started the event with her best mark at 19-feet, 8-inches.

In the shot put, it was junior McShane who earned points placing in eighth in the discus. On her final attempt of the preliminary round, McShane managed 160-feet, 5-inches securing her spot in the finals.

Freshman Grace Fetherstonhaugh had a great performance in her first Pac-12 Championship appearance placing in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Finishing in seventh place, Fetherstonhaugh ran her second fastest time of the season at 10-minutes, 29.60-seconds.

Freshman Mari Friedman and Lauren Miller each notched all-time marks in their respective events, the 800 meters and the 200 meters.
