Jasmine Woods ran a Big Sky-leading 11.78 seconds in the prelims of the 100 meters, as she and three other Vikings competed against an elite field at the Texas Relays Friday.
Â
Woods' time of 11.78 seconds beats the conference-leading time going into the weekend, which Sacramento State's Caprice Powell held at 11.84 seconds. Woods' time also beats her personal best in the event by two-hundredths of a second, and moves her up to sixth all-time at Portland State.
Â
Woods narrowly missed qualifying for the finals of the 100 out of an elite field that featured athletes from national sprinting powers Texas A&M and LSU. Clemson's Sabria Hadley claimed the final qualifying spot with her time of 11.74 seconds, just four-hundredths of a second faster than Woods.

Additionally, sophomore
Baileh Simms, the defending Big Sky champion in the outdoor long jump, hit a Big Sky qualifying mark while placing fourth in the 'B' section of the women's long jump Friday. Simms jumped 18-08.50 (5.70m) on her fourth attempt in the event, moving her up to third in the Big Sky this season.

Sophomore
Genna Settle also had a seasonal best in the 100 meters, as she finished in 12.04 seconds. Settle, Woods, Simms and senior
Jazmin Ratcliff, who collectively hold the school record in the 4x100-meter relay, also all set a new seasonal best in the short relay, as they finished 17th overall in 46.32 seconds.
