OSU HIGH PERFORMANCE RECAP...
The big story coming out of the Oregon State University High Performance meet Saturday at the Whyte Track & Field Center was the performance of Western Washington's 4 x 400 relay team.
The team of Brian Le, Evin Ford, Maurice Woodring and Isaac Ford (from left to right/photo courtesy WWU Athletics) ran 3:09.91 to break the school record of 3:10.08 the same foursome set earlier at the Bryan Clay Invitational.
While the leadoff and anchor legs remained the same as the team that ran at Bryan Clay, Woodring was moved to the third leg, and Evin Ford to the second.
Le ran the first leg in 47.7, followed by Evin Ford's 47.87 (first two legs timed off race video).
Maurice Woodring, the Vikings' outstanding 400 hurdler ran 47.47 on the third leg, while Isaac Ford, Evin's twin brother and GNAC conference leader in the 400 this season at 47.60, finished it off with a 46.87 on the anchor.
Other highlights from Corvallis included a victory by Eastern Washington's Ella Seelhoff in the 100 hurdles in 15.01, Washington alum Eric Gibson in the 800 in 1:49.71, and a 1-2 finish in the women's triple jump by SeattleU's Manthita Wague (39-0.25/11.89m) and Zoe Tibbo (37-9.5/11.52m).
Hannah Chang of Seattle Pacific, who was the Falcons' only entry in the meet, false started out of the 100 hurdles.
