McMINNVILLE, Ore.  – The NCU throwers had another big finish this weekend, dominating at the Jen Boyman Invitational. The Beacons owned first and fourth-place finishes in the event.
 
Sophomore Bailey Dell led the charge, winning the event with a mark of 44.94m. Her heave not only broke her own school record but also landed at No. 1 on the 2016 NAIA national performance list.
 
Following closely was junior Madeleine Nelson with a personal-record throw of 39.46m. Her time was good enough for an NAIA "B" standard, and ranks just outside the top-ten nationally.
 
Another school record was also defeated on Saturday as the 4x100m relay team of Shaneesa Applegate, Haley Damian, Cassandra Brownell and Myranda Johnson (pictured) ran a 52.38 to clear 0.41 seconds off the benchmark.
 
One new CCC qualification was also earned, bringing the total number on the conference roster to 16. Freshman Anna Brooks garnered her first ever Cascade Conference invite with a 5000m run of 18:50.05.
