SEATTLE – Saturday at the Ken Shannon Invite saw three Beavers post new personal bests while several others competed well among a strong regional field.

"This was a great weekend for us. We competed so well and the pieces are really coming together for outdoor. I'm excited to add the big throws group to our outdoor squad. They are going to be a huge boost," head coach Louie Quintana said. "Now, we're excited to get after it at NCAA in two weeks with Kaylee and Grace."

Chelsea Howard was the first Beav to post a new PR with a 7.96 in the 60 meters. The sprint moved Howard to ninth in the OSU Top 10. She previously had been tied for no. 9 with a 7.97.

Later in the day, Grace Fetherstonhaugh once again outpaced her previous PR in the mile. The redshirt junior raced to fifth with a 4:34.32, finishing just behind teammate Kaylee Mitchell. Mitchell neared her school record, set earlier this year, with a 4:33.87.

Jillian Brown moved up the OSU Top 10 in the 800 meters, racing to fifth all-time with a 2:12.86. Brown's time inched out Kelsi Schaer's 2:12.89 from 2015.

In field events, Delaney Bahn placed eighth in the long jump with a 5.97m/19-7 leap and seventh in the high jump, clearing 1.70m/5-7. Emma Nelson finished just in front of Bahn in the high jump with a 1.75m/5-8.75 to earn sixth.
