CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State heads south to Eugene for its second outdoor meet of the 2024 season on Friday and Saturday, competing at the Oregon Preview.

The Beavers had one of their best outdoor openers in Louie Quintana's time as head coach last week at the OSU PNW Invite with one school record in the 4x100-meter relay and several top-10 marks in school history.

Now, the Beavs look to build on the early success with another strong meet down the road. OSU will travel a mix of competitors who opened their seasons in Corvallis as well as a few making their 2024 debuts.

LAST TIME OUT
The highlight of the OSU PNW Invite came in the 4x100. The relay team of Lizzie Hatton, Abby Buckley, Jada Hurley and Delaney Bahn posted a 45.97, the fourth-best time in the country based on results at the time and a school record in the event.

The throwers, most making their season-debuts outdoors, provided a few highlights as they got started. Maryann Ackerman continued climbing the Oregon State top 10 lists with a 50.33m/165-1 mark in the javelin to jump to no. 3.

Katie Gelston moved to no. 5 all-time in the discus with a 49.26m/161-7 throw. Returning first-team All-American Jade Whitfield won the event with a solid, season-opening 53.12m/174-3.

Kate Sorensen made her long-awaited debut in orange and black in the 400-meter hurdles and did not disappoint. The grad transfer came from behind to pass three runners in the homestretch and lock in a 59.10 finish, third-best all-time.

Sorensen also closed the day with a 53.5-second leg to close the 4x400 meter relay. She combined with Hurley, Adael Scatena and Riley Patera to run a 3:46.28 for the third-best relay at Oregon State.
