CORVALLIS, Ore. – Coming off a big weekend where they set two new school records and added nine new marks to OSU's all-time Top 10, the Oregon State Track and Field Team will travel to Seattle, Wash., to compete at the UW Invitational on Friday and Saturday.

The last time the Beavs were in Seattle, just two weeks ago for the UW Preview, they came with something to prove. Posting a new OSU record, eight Top-10 marks and eight personal bests, the Beavers are looking to keep the momentum going heading into the weekend.

Mia Fowler, Maddy Juhler and Claire Lee will start the weekend with pole vault at 1:00 p.m. on Friday. The action continues with weight throw and long jump at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday
