With only two weeks left in the outdoor regular season, the Eastern Washington University track and field team completed the Oregon State University High Performance Meet in Corvallis, Ore., with four first-place finishes.
 
Madison Doepker highlighted the meet with a new personal best in the hammer which now places her fourth on the EWU all-time best list in the javelin.
 
"This meet was critical in reminding us that the big work has been done and that final tune-ups are now the order of the day," said men's head coach Stan Kerr. "Consistency in any event is a good sign -- it means a breakthrough performance is coming."
 
"We tend to get some big marks at OSU and this year was no different," said women's head coach Marcia Mecklenburg.

The Eagles travel to Spokane, Wash., next Saturday (May 4) for the Spokane Memorial Meet before competing at the Outdoor Big Sky Championships in Missoula, Mont., on May 8-11.

"Liz Prouty had the pole vault day of her life and set a new stadium and meet record with a vault of 13-3 1/2. She put in the training last summer and it is finally paying off for her."
 
"Madison Doepker blasted a 10-foot personal record in the hammer on day one and then came back with a one-foot PR in the javelin on day two. One of the goals of this meet was to try and get some athletes moved up onto the NCAA Regional list, and both Liz and Madi are sitting in good positions in the West Region with those performances."
 
"Dominque Butler won the triple jump and was consistent with her jumps. Her winning jump was 39-plus feet and also was her best jump of the season. Maegan McCurdy had an outstanding long jump competition, jumping 18' 11.75". That was a big jump for her but we know she can go even farther."
 
"Ami Njadoe had a great 100-hurdle race which gives her two meets back to back with some great hurdle races."
 
"I definitely have to give a shout out to our whole vault crew. We had a lot of personal records from the crew yesterday. It is nice to see them finally able to get some quality vaults in after having to call that event in two of the meets we competed in this spring."
 
"Overall, we had a bunch of personal records. They are coming right when we need them. We are two weeks out from the Big Sky meet and performances are starting to come together for our athletes."
