Day One Final Results. 
 
The Eastern Washington University men's and women's outdoor track and field teams competed in their first day at the Hayward Premiere today (Apr.1) in Eugene, Ore., at Hayward Field. 
 
For the men, Noah Hasselblad competed today in the men's 5,000-meter and placed eighth with a time of 14:36.94. This time sets a new record in the Eastern Washington University record book on the all-time top-ten list where he is now 10th for the men's 5,000-meter. 
 
"Hasselblad raced his way onto our top-ten 5,000-meter list by posting a 22 second PR," explained head men's coach Stan Kerr.
 
In the men's pole vault Zach Klobutcher and Brayden Freitag competed and placed second and fifth. Klobutcher placed second with a mark of 15-11. Freitag placed fifth with a mark of 15-5. 
 
"Klobutcher and Freitag had solid performances in the pole vault. The weather started to deteriorate as the pole vault rolled along, but the guys stayed vigilant from start to finish," stated Kerr. 
 
In the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase invite Justin Roosma placed 11th with a time of 9:03.63.

"Peoples made a strong debut for us with a good hammer throw against a very talented group of high-level throwers," explained Kerr.

"Women's vaulters came through today with Schultz winning the event. It was great to see her on top this week. Ruff and Folger-Vent added the depth we are used to, also placing third and sixth respectively," explained head women's coach Marcia Mecklenburg. 
 
Vernice Keyes competed in the women's hammer throw and placed third with a mark of 184-8. 
 
"Keyes placed third in the hammer and Maggie Nelson was fourth in the javelin with a good field of throwers in both events. I know they both wanted to throw farther, and they will as we get farther into the season," explained Mecklenburg.
