COMPLETE RESULTS

LA GRANDE, Ore.  – The Bushnell women's track & field team claimed an eighth-place finish at the Cascade Collegiate Conference championships presented by U.S. Bank. The weekend featured four school records, and two all-conference performances, the first for the Beacons in four years.
 
The Beacons started off on Friday with a pair of school-records and a strong showing in the Long Jump, featuring a fourth-place finish from Cyan Kelso-Reynolds.
 
The sophomore earned five points for the Beacons, landing the second-best jump of her career at 5.55m (18-02.50) to take her highest-ever finish at the conference championship. The long jump also featured a pair of strong PR's as Ellie Ekwere took 11th (5.25m) and Sienna Lillebo claimed 13th (5.22m).
 
Another four points came in from the 4x100m relay team of Aniya Green, Makayla Parrish, Lillebo and CKR, who took fifth-place at 49.48.
 
Leah Schiewe was responsible for two points for the Beacons, claiming a seventh-place finish in the Shot Put as she landed 12.00m (39-04.50). It wasn't the only highlight of the day for the senior, who also broke her own school record in the hammer, hitting a 41.44m toss to break the 40-meter mark for the first time. She would finish 13th in the event.
 
The final point for the Beacons came on another school record, this time in the 100-meter hurdles where freshman Aliyah Malone tied a seven-year old school record with an eighth-place finish at 15.02. She equaled the mark set by Christy Seaton at the CCC championship in 2019.
 
After closing the day in ninth-place with 12 points, Bushnell rallied to overtake Corban University for eighth, scoring 26 points on Saturday to end the event with 38, the most for a Beach squad in seven years.
 
The early highlight came in the women's triple jump where Bushnell earned three scoring finishes from two freshman and a sophomore. Freshman Viktoriia Gabrio became the first Beacon to earn All-CCC honors since 2022 as she took third-place with a personal-record of 11.01m (36-01.50). Sophomore Ellie Ekwere was close behind in fourth (10.93m) while Aliyah Malone took seventh (10.68m).
 
Malone also scored a point for the Beacons in the high jump, taking eighth-place (1.50m/4-11.00), an impressive feat as her triple and high jump events were running concurrently.
 
Also scoring for the Beacons on Saturday was freshman Janaiya Miller, who finished fourth in the discus at 38.58m (126-07).
 
The closing highlight was provided by the women's 4x400m relay team of Green, Sommerville, Lindsey Rankin, and Lillebo who became the first All-Conference relay team in Bushnell women's track & field team history, claiming third place. The Beacons took nearly five full seconds off of their previous school record in the process, coming in at 3:55.34.
 
Saturday also featured a new school record in the 100m as Kelso-Reynolds took eighth-place at 12.38, topping the previous record of 12.44 which had stood since 2019.
