STANFORD, California--On the final day of competition at the Stanford Invitational, Washington's field event specialists picked up three wins at Cobb Track & Angell Field on the Stanford University campus.
NCAA indoor qualifier Jacob Englar (Paul Merca photo) won the men's invitational pole vault, clearing 17-6.5 (5.35m).
Englar, who won the Pac-12 championship for Washington State last year, had a bit of a hiccup at the lower heights, needing a minimum of two attempts at the three bars below his eventual winning height. He was the only one to clear 17-6.5 (5.35m).
Three-time NCAA All American Ida Eikeng won the collegiate section of the women's javelin with a toss of 156-5 (47.69m) in the fourth round, after taking the lead in round two, where she threw 146-0 (44.52m).
Tim Luebbert won the collegiate section of the men's triple jump with a fourth round leap of 49-5.5 (15.07m), which was just over the 2.0 meter per second allowable. His second best jump of 48-4.75 (14.75m) was wind-legal at the maximum allowable of 2.0 mps.
Sam Ellis finished fourth in the top section of the mens 800, running 1:49.70.
Washington State's Ronald Grueso Mosqquera highlighted the Cougars' day at Stanford, taking third in the men's invitational shot put at 62-10.5 (19.16m).
