SEATTLE – Junior Kerissa D'Arpino and sophomore Juliana Mount set school records on Saturday to pace the Oregon State track & field team on Day 2 of the Washington Invitational at the Dempsey Indoor Center.

D'Arpino set a school record of 7.58 in the 60 meters in the semifinals, breaking the former mark of 7.71 she shared with Allie Church. She then placed eighth in 7.68 in the finals.

"Kerissa ran unbelievable, she broke the old school record three times," as she also ran 7.70 in the opening round of qualifying, OSU coach Kelly Sullivan said. "That's outstanding."

Mount ran 9:33.62 in the 3,000 to break Laura Carlyle's old mark of 9:35.99, set back in 2011. Morgan Anderson finished just behind her in 9:43.76, OSU's fourth-best time in that event. It was also her first indoor 3,000.

"For JJ to break Laura Carlyle's record in the first 3K she has ever run is incredible," Sullivan said. "Laura is the best middle-distance runner in our history," and was a two-time All-American.

Other top-10 times or marks were established by:

Venessa D'Arpino, who ran 7.68 in the 60 semifinals, the second-fastest time.
Madelayne Varela, who had the No. 4 mark in the triple jump (35-10.50) and the No. 10 mark in the long jump (16-10.75).
Sydney Guthrie-Baker, who had the ninth-best mark in the shot put (40-3.25).

The Beavers had seven top-10 marks altogether on the second day of their opening meet of the 2017 indoor season. They also had four all-time top-10 performances on Friday, by Kerissa D'Arpino and Collins in the 200 and by Lindsay McShane and Sydney Guthrie-Baker in the weight throw.

The Beavers are idle next weekend and will resume competition at the Husky Classic, set for Feb. 10-11 at the Dempsey Indoor Center.

"Overall we had a great meet," and are ahead of where they were last year at a similar time, Sullivan said. "We will come up here in two weeks and build on what we did this weekend."
