FULL RESULTS:
Beach Invitational | Pacific Coast Intercollegiate | Mt. Sac Relays | Spokane Memorial Series

Senior Leanne Asper highlighted the Eastern Washington University track team this week in California by breaking the 800 meters school record with a time of 2:10.61 at the Mt. Sac Relays, one of the four meets the Eagles competed at this week. The previous record was by Katie Mahoney with 2:10.96 from 2016. Asper had also broke the school record in the 800 during the indoor season at the Husky Classic on Feb. 10, 2018.
 
Other highlights included a first-place finish by sophomore Keshun McGee in the triple jump at the Mt. Sac Relays with a mark of 51-0 3/4. Senior Jeremy VanAssche also collected a title in the 100 meters (10.65) in the Pacific Intercollegiate Invite along with junior Trey McAdams in the 400 hurdles (54.23).

"It was a wonderful change to be able to compete in some warm and sunny conditions," women's head coach Marcia Mecklenburg said. "I don't think we have ever had as many personal records as we did this week. Hopefully we can continue that trend next weekend at the OSU High Performance Meet."
 
"We have benefited greatly from our three days of fabulous track and field competition in Los Angeles," men's head coach Stan Kerr said. "The number of lifetime and seasonal personal records indicated our crew knew this was an opportunity to do their best. I'm very proud of the vigilance our team showed in terms of staying in the 'here and now' and not being distracted by factors that could take away from performances."

The Eagles also competed at the Spokane Falls Memorial Meet and finished with two titles.

More comments from women's head coach Marcia Mecklenburg . . .
On individuals: "We are getting some outstanding performances across the board. A late race from day one at Mt. Sac may have produced the race of the week for Kari Hamilton. Her 10,000 PR moved her up into the top 15 in the West Region. That is a huge improvement and an outstanding time."
 
On highlights of the trip: "At Mt. Sac on day two Leanne Asper set a school record in the 800 and that will definitely be one of the highlights of the trip. Madison Deopker threw back-to-back days and at the Beach Invite and improved the PR's she set the day before in the hammer and the weight throw. It is great to see that kind of consistency. She is figuring out the throws. The highlight of the second day at the Beach Invite was Rebecca Tarbert's 100 race. She was right in the hunt with almost a dead head and ended up with a PR."
 
On other personal records: "Samantha Raines had a personal-record in the pole vault. The next height had her taking some attempts at a potential regional mark. Kaitlyn Grunst moved up into the scoring hunt in the high jump for conference with a PR jump."
 
More comments from men's head coach Stan Kerr . . .
On team balance: "Team balance continues to be an asset for us. Tim Beard's hammer performance, Logan Stahl's 800 runs, Keshun McGee's jumps, Jeremy VanAssche's sprints, Parker Bowden and Trey McAdams hurdles times and strong supporting casts in all the event areas bodes well for us in the upcoming championships." 
 
On competition: "Three-straight days of competition is always a challenge. Staying hydrated, getting optimal sleep, eating well, etc. are things we all work diligently on to help deliver the kind of performances we witnessed this week."
