MEET RESULTS

MANHATTAN, KS — Oklahoma State track and field took home five event titles in its trip to the fourth-annual DeLoss Dodds Invitational in Ahearn Field House on Friday and Saturday.

Middle distance continues to be a staple of Dave Smith's track squads, as the Pokes swept the 600-yard titles for the second-consecutive year. The Cowgirls went 1-2-3 behind junior Amira Coleman, senior Ambra Wesley and true freshman Nicolette Dixon.

The Cowboys followed suit, going 1-2-3-4 in the men's 600-yard run thanks to senior Brandon Singleton, junior Tanner Green, senior Tyler Jackson and freshman Calahan Newsome.

"It was good to get some additional competition for the younger athletes," assistant coach Josh Langley said. "We saw a couple of breakthroughs in technical events and on the track, it was good to see them get in a race and compete hard."

Sophomore Elliett Kulkin continued her legacy as one of OSU's all-time best female pole vaulters, clearing a height of 3.70m/12-1.50 to take first overall on Friday. Her height is a season-high mark for the Cowgirls in the event.

OSU's fourth and fifth event titles came by way of the women's 60m and 3,000m. In the women's 60-meter dash, Lexie Lewis and Kira White went 1-2 in 7.74 and 7.76, respectively. Grace Baker took home the title in the 3,000m for the Cowgirls.

Freshman Torrey Hickel also found himself in the OSU indoor record books. His throw of 16.36m/53-8.25 puts him in a tie for seventh all-time in the men's shot put, albeit taking third overall in the event.

Newcomer Zach Andrew also recorded a personal best in the men's weight throw with his second-place mark of 15.87m/52-1.

"We had a good weekend in the throws," Langley said. "Torrey and Zach both had personal bests and also had a very consistent series in their respective events. That's a good indication that some bigger throws are on the way."

Next up for the Pokes is the busiest weekend of the indoor season that will send the groups across the country to four separate meets – the Husky Classic, Iowa State Classic, Don Kirby Elite Invitational and Tyson Invitational.

"Next week is when we line up in our main events and go after our national qualifying marks at meets across the country," Langley said.
