SEATTLE, Wash. — The Portland State track and field teams set 23 personal bests Saturday, as the Vikings wrapped up competition at the Husky Classic at Dempsey Indoor, Portland State's final meet before the Big Sky Championships Feb. 27-March 1.
 
Sprinters Michael Kubisiak and Jazmin Ratcliff led off the PR barrage Saturday with big personal bests in the finals of the 60 meters. Kubisiak, who cracked seven seconds for the first time in his career in the prelims of the 60 earlier in the day, finished the finals of the 60 meters in 6.91 seconds, qualifying him for the Big Sky Championships in the event and shaving almost a full tenth of a second off his old personal best of 7.00 seconds. Kubisiak now ranks tied for second at PSU in the 60, and would have ranked tied for fifth in the Big Sky in the 60 meters this season entering the weekend.
 
Ratcliff, meanwhile, won her section of the 60 meters final and placed second overall in 7.61 seconds, beating her old personal best of 7.64 seconds, which she had tied in the prelims earlier in the day. Ratcliff moves out of a tie for eighth all-time at Portland State with her time in the 60 Saturday, and like Kubisiak, would have ranked tied for fifth in the Big Sky in the 60 meters entering the weekend.
 
Sophomore Sheldon Prince also set a new personal best in the prelims of the men's 60 meters, finishing in 7.03 seconds, a time that ranks him eighth all-time in the event at Portland State.
 
Multi-event athletes CeCelia Jackson and Kevin Robinson also each set new personal bests in the 60-meter hurdles Saturday. Jackson shaved a full tenth of a second off her PR, as she placed third in the finals of the event in 8.51 seconds. Jackson's time moves her up to No. 4 all-time in the 60-meter hurdles at Portland State, and would have ranked her third in the conference in the event entering the weekend, just .02 seconds behind her teammate, Ratcliff.
 
Robinson, meanwhile, shaved a few ticks off his PR in the 60-meter hurdles, finishing in 8.72 seconds. Robinson also set a personal best in the high jump, clearing 6-04.75 (1.95m), a mark that moves him into a tie for sixth all-time at Portland State in the event.
 
Sophomore Kris Tollefson and freshman Roazena Miller also set new personal bests in the 400 meters Saturday, finishing in 58.84 and 59.67 seconds, respectively. Freshman Mitchell Gable set a personal best in the men's 400 meters as well, finishing in 49.89 seconds to move up to No. 8 all-time in the event at Portland State.
 
The Vikings' men's distance crew, meanwhile, set six personal bests of their own Saturday, led by sophomore T-Roy Brown, who set a new PR in the indoor mile, finishing in 4:12.35. Brown's time moves him to No. 5 all-time in the mile at Portland State, and would have ranked him 11th in the Big Sky entering the weekend.
 
Freshmen Nathan Fleck and Ben Richardson also set personal bests in the indoor 800 meters, as each shaved multiple seconds of their respective PRs. Fleck shaved nearly three seconds off his personal best in the 800, as he finished in 1:54.88, a time that moves him to No. 8 all-time at PSU in the event, and would have put him in the top eight of the Big Sky entering the weekend. Richardson, meanwhile, shaved nearly three and a half seconds off his old PR Saturday, finishing in 1:55.74 to crush his old PR of 1:59.13.
 
Sophomores Neil Seibert and Jonathan Talik, and junior Jake Schwartz all set new personal bests in the 3,000 meters as well, finishing in 8:48.08, 8:52.71 and 8:55.06, respectively.
 
Junior Erica Contos and freshman Olivia Loveland set personal bests in the women's 800 meters, too, as Contos finished in 2:20.29 and Loveland finished in 2:21.69.
 
Contos and freshman Maggie Coleman also set personal bests in the women's indoor mile, with Contos finishing in 5:09.40 and Coleman finishing in 5:21.17.
 
In the field, jumpers Gifton Okoronkwo and Tyson Stipic set new PRs in the long jump and triple jump, respectively, as Okoronkwo jumped 21-02.50 (6.46m) in the long jump Saturday, while Stipic jumped 43-04.25 (13.21m) in the triple jump, a mark that would have ranked him 10th in the Big Sky entering the weekend.
 
Sophomore Sydney Johnson, meanwhile, set a seasonal best and tied her old personal best in the shot put with a throw of 40-04.00 (12.29m). Senior Nevin Lewis also debuted in the men's shot put with a throw of 42-01.50 (12.84m).
 
The Vikings will now prepare for the Big Sky Championships Feb. 27-March 1 in Pocatello, Idaho.
