Julian Jensen in the 800-meter set a new personal best as well as Terrence Allen in the javelin and Carson Smith in the 1500-meter.  We're continuing to make improvements on the technical side with our throwers and jumpers, and we're making progress.  In the sprints, we are improving each day."

"The competition throughout the day was very lopsided with Division I Oregon State dominating on the women's side, and several heats and flights on the men's side with a very small number of competitors.  We are looking forward to a day off, before we get back to practice on Monday," added Ingram.
