After fouling out of the invitational long jump, Scott-Ellis turned around and won the collegiate section of the triple jump with a season best mark of 51-1 (15.57m).
Washington State's squad of Greg Hornsby, Trevor Rogers, Brett Blanshan, and Andre McBride took the sprint relay race, winning in a time of 40.85 seconds, as the Washington Huskies were disqualified for a zone violation on the third exchange.
The Dawgs had a pair of impressive performances in the 4 x 400 meter relays, as the men's team of Quadelle Satterwhite, James Alaka, Dan Sanders and Andrew Prentice ran 3:09.38 to finish third overall behind Notre Dame (3:06.71) and Minnesota (3:09.12).
It was the fastest time by a Husky foursome since 2008.
The women's team of Kayla Stueckle, Baylee Mires, Gianna Woodruff, and Krista Armstead ran 3:43.15, the fastest time by a Washington squad since 2000, and the seventh fastest time in school history, as they finished fourth behind Arizona (3:35.44), Notre Dame (3:37.84), and Stanford (3:39.07).
Washington State Garrett Gerling and Josiah Sims went 2-3 in the finals of the men's 110 hurdles, as both clocked 14.53, behind winner Teivaskie Lewin's 14.28 into a -0.1 wind. The Huskies' Shayne Moore was fourth in 14.57.
The Cougs' Shawna Fermin finished fifth in the 200, running a season best 24.19.
