The heptathlon concludes today with the long jump, javelin and 800 meters. Hallock (5,087 points) and McNairy (4,270) rank third and fifth, respectively, all-time at OSU in the event.

Remaining team members will compete at Arizona State and at Western Oregon this weekend.

The Sun Angel Classic's hammer and pole vault will be held on Friday. The remaining field events, and all running events involving Beavers, take place on Saturday. OSU set the school 400-meter relay record (46.01) at the 2016 Sun Angel Classic but will not enter a team this year.

The John Knight Twilight Meet at WOU is Friday only. Sophomore Kaely Gordon will make her season debut, in the 1500 meters and the 3000-meter steeplechase.

With Hallock's top-10 effort in the hurdles, the Beavers have set one current school record and have posted 16 all-time top-10 times or marks this season.
