Witten Punches Ticket to CCC Championship

COMPLETE RESULTS

PORTLAND, Ore.  – Eden Witten added her name to the growing list of Beacons who have qualified for the CCC Championships, earning her way in for the Pole Vault while competing on Saturday at Lewis & Clark College's Larry Byerly Invitational.
 
Witten (pictured) cleared 2.49 meters (8-02.00) for a new personal record as she joins a list of ten other women who have qualified for the Beacons.
 
It was an impressive weekend all around for the Beacons, who continue to make strides as 16 personal records were set.
 
The Bushnell sprinters were busy with a number of multiple PR days from the likes of Jordan Lauinger (100mH, 400mH), Kyra Quinn (200m, 400m, Long Jump), Kira Dennison (100m, 200m), Ellie Ekwere (100m, Triple Jump), and Witten, who also hit a PR in the 100m.
 
It was another solid day for the throws as well. Libby Mathis took second-place in a 34-woman Shot Put field, posting the third-longest throw in school history at 12.27 meters (40-03.25). Leah Schiewe hit a PR in the shot (11.20m) and also took third place out of 40 in the discus (35.39m/116-01).
 
"We had another really good day today," said Director of Track & Field Kyle Will. "We are seeing a lot of consistency, and the wear-and-tear from the season is starting to catch up to us so we're glad to get a week off. Things are coming together nicely here at the end of the season."
 
UP NEXT: The Beacons will be out of competition for the next two weeks, returning on May 2 at the Oregon State High Performance Meet and May 3 at the Linfield Open, the final events before the CCC Championship.
