WSU throwers, UW vertical jumpers shine at Vandal Collegiate...

MOSCOW, Idaho -- Washington State indoor track and field competitors reached 28 personal-record marks Friday night at the Vandal Collegiate Meet in the Kibbie Dome in Moscow, Idaho, as the Cougars tuned up for their conference championships next weekend.

It was a good evening for the Cougar throwing corps. Sophomore weight throwers Kjirsten Jensen (left/photo courtesy WSU Sports Information) and Cassie Whitfield tossed PRs with Jensen's 61-feet, 2 1/4 inches (18.65m) a five-foot improvement and just 4 1/4 inches from an NCAA Provisional Qualifying mark. Jensen was runner-up to EWU's Nicole Luckenbach who threw an NCAA PQ mark of 61-11 3/4 (18.89m). Whitfield's 58-8 (17.88 m) was third place. Jensen's mark is the fourth-best in WSU history and Whitfield's mark is sixth-best all-time.

Jasmine Johnson-McKeown, a freshman multi-events competitor, continues to make a name for herself in the throwing events as she tossed the shot put 44-9 (13.64m) for second place Friday.

WSU sophomore Joe Bartlett put the shot a PR distance of 54-6 (16.61m) for second place and junior transfer Jacob Weintraub tossed a distance of 54-4 3/4 (16.58m) for fourth place.

The Washington Huskies sent a limited number of athletes to the meet, primarily its pole vaulters.

Scott Roth won the men's competition with a modest 17-7 3/4 (5.38m), while Bryce Borer finished tenth at 15-2 1/4 (4.63m). Jeremy Lashinske and Ryan Vu no-heighted.

In the women's vault, Kelly Mudlo and Ally Wojciechowski finished fifth & seventh, both clearing 11-8.5 (3.57m). Logan Miller and Taylor Fjeran finished eighth and 13th, respectively, with both clearing 11-2.5 (3.42m).

Kelly McNamee won the women's high jump with a mark of 5-8 (1.73m).
