PORTLAND, Ore. — The Portland State track and field teams open the home stretch of the 2015 regular season, as they compete at the OSU High Performance Meet and Mt. Hood Track Festival this weekend.
Â
The meets come after an idle week last weekend for the Viking track and field teams, and lead into the final two weeks of the regular season, before the Vikings head to the Big Sky Outdoor Championships in Cheney, Wash., May 13-16. The Vikings will just have the Oregon Twilight meet remaining before the Big Sky meet after this weekend, and only have five more meets total before the qualification period for the NCAA West Preliminary ends on May 17.
Â
The Vikings currently have three athletes in position to qualify for the NCAA West Preliminary, but will hope to get many more in position by the end of these next two weeks.
Â
That starts with the OSU High Performance Meet this weekend, where all three of the Vikings' women's 100-meter hurdlers will be looking to lower their marks. Senior
Jazmin Ratcliff and sophomores
CeCelia Jackson and
Akayla Anderson will all compete for the Vikings in the event, with all three athletes currently just short of the cut off to qualify for the regional meet. The top 48 declared student-athletes in the NCAA west region will qualify for the NCAA West Preliminary meet in the 100-meter hurdles, and Ratcliff, Jackson and Anderson rank tied for 51st, 56th and tied for 57th in the region, respectively, going into the weekend.
Â
Ratcliff and Jackson qualified for last season's NCAA West Preliminary in the 100-meter hurdles, while Ratcliff also qualified in 2013. Additionally, Ratcliff, Jackson and Anderson all rank in the top three of the Big Sky Conference in the 100-meter hurdles, as Ratcliff and Jackson moved up to first and second in the conference, respectively, at the Mt. SAC Relays last weekend, while Anderson moved into a tie for third in the conference while winning the event at the Oregon Relays.
Â
Anderson's time at the Oregon Relays also moved her up to fourth all-time in the event at Portland State, giving the Vikings three of their top four all-time performers in the 100-meter hurdles on one team, as Ratcliff and Jackson moved up to first and second all-time in the event, respectively, last season.
Â
Jackson and Anderson will also join sophomore
Roazena Miller in the 400-meter hurdles later in the day, while Jackson will compete in the high jump for the first time since giving up the heptathlon at the end of her last outdoor season.
Â
Meanwhile, junior
Major Oni will open the OSU High Performance Meet for the Vikings, as he and his fellow hammer competitors will compete by themselves at the Western Oregon University hammer facility in Monmouth, Ore., Thursday, while the rest of the meet takes place at the Whyte Track and Field Center in Corvallis, Ore., Friday.
Â
Oni returns to the hammer after setting the Vikings' best mark in the hammer in over 40 years at the Oregon Relays two weekends ago. Oni threw a personal-best 163-02 (49.74m) at the meet, ranking him second in the event at Portland State, behind only Steve James, who set the school record with a throw of 176-00 (53.64m) way back in 1971.
Â
Sophomore
Baileh Simms also returns to the women's long jump for the first time since setting a Big Sky-leading mark at the Stanford Invitational four weeks ago. Simms jumped 19-08.00 (5.99m) at the Stanford Invitational on April 3, a mark that still leads all other conference competitors by close to two inches. Additionally, Simms' mark at the Stanford Invitational ranks her 28th in the NCAA west this season, putting her in good position to finish the season in the top 48 in the region and qualify for the NCAA West Preliminary meet.
Â
The Vikings' distance crew will also be busy at the OSU High Performance Meet Friday, as the Vikings have multiple athletes competing from the men's and women's 800 to 5,000 meters, as well as both sections of the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Redshirt junior
T-Roy Brown and sophomore
Maggie Coleman will represent the Vikings in the men's and women's steeplechase, with Brown making his first appearance in the steeplechase since placing eighth in the event at last season's Big Sky outdoor meet.
Â
Brown made his Portland State debut in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at last season's OSU High Performance Meet, and moved all the way up to second all-time in the event at Portland State with his time of 9:16.04.
Â
Additionally, the Vikings have nine athletes entered in Saturday's Mt. Hood Track Festival, which will take place at Earl Klapstein Stadium in Gresham, Ore. The Viking field at the meet includes Oni, who could double up in the hammer this weekend after competing in the event at the OSU High Performance Meet Thursday.
Â
Besides Oni, senior
Nettie Wayne and junior
Adia White are entered in the women's 100 and 200 meters, while freshmen
Nyalual Beng and
Shasta Wilson are entered in the women's 800 meters and javelin, respectively. Meanwhile, on the men's side, four freshmen will join Oni at the meet, as
Ricardo Castillo and
Ethan Cotton are entered in the men's 1,500 meters, while
Hunter Pfefferkorn and
Cole Nixon are entered in the men's 200 and 400 meters, respectively.

COMING UP:The Vikings compete at their final regular-season meet of the 2015 outdoor season, as they head to the Oregon Twilight next Friday at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
Â
OREGON RELAYS RECAP:Sophomore
Akayla Anderson won the 100-meter hurdles in a personal-best time, while juniors
Major Oni and
T-Roy Brown set historic marks in the men's hammer and 1,500 meters, respectively, at the Oregon Relays, April 17-18, at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. Anderson won the 100-meter hurdles in 13.87 seconds, breaking through for an over half-second seasonal best in the event that moved her into a tie for third in the Big Sky this season, behind only teammates
Jazmin Ratcliff and
CeCelia Jackson. Oni, meanwhile, set the best mark in the men's hammer in over 40 years with his mark of 163-02 (49.74m) on the first day of the meet. Oni now ranks second only to Steve James' school record of 176-00 (53.64m), which James set way back in 1971. Additionally, Brown set the best mark in the men's 1,500 meters in over 10 years on the same day. Brown finished the 1,500 in 3:51.25, the best finish by a Viking since Mike Kebbe ran the 1,500 meters in 3:50.40 in 2004.
Â
MT. SAC RELAYS RECAP:The Vikings nearly set seasonal bests across the board at the Mt. SAC Relays, April 17, at Hilmer Lodge Stadium, as the Vikings competed in six different events. Senior
Jasmine Woods led the Vikings' bevy of seasonal bests, as she paced the Vikings in the 100 and 200 meters. Woods finished the 100 in a personal-best 11.63 seconds, moving her up to third all-time in the event at Portland State and behind only all-time sprinting greats Geronne Black and Karene King. Sophomore
Genna Settle followed Woods in both the 100 and 200 meters, while senior
Jazmin Ratcliff and sophomore
CeCelia Jackson moved up to first and second, respectively, in the Big Sky in the 100-meter hurdles. Ratcliff took the conference lead with her time of 13.83 seconds, while Jackson finished just behind at 13.85. Additionally, the Vikings' 4x100-meter relay team of Ratcliff, Settle, Woods and sophomore
Baileh Simms lowered their Big Sky-leading time in the event to 45.54 seconds.
Â
JOHN KNIGHT TWILIGHT RECAP:The Portland State women's 4x100-meter relay team set the meet record while winning the event at the John Knight Twilight meet at Western Oregon University's McArthur Field on April 10. The Viking women's short relay team finished in 45.94 seconds, beating the old record of 47.72, set in 2011, by nearly two full seconds. The Vikings' time also marked the second straight meet the Vikings have cracked 46 seconds in the event, following the team's seasonal-best time of 46.65 seconds at the Stanford Invitational. Outside of the relay, the Viking men added three more event wins between
T-Roy Brown in the 1,500,
Andrew Landstrom in the 5,000 and
Rockwell Tufty in the high jump. Brown and Landstrom blew away the competition while winning each of their events, as Brown won the men's 1,500 meters by over three seconds, while Landstrom won the men's 5,000 meters by nearly 16 full seconds. Both Brown and Landstrom won their events in personal-best times, too, as Brown finished the 1,500 in 3:54.08, while Landstrom finished the 5,000 in 15:19.98. Tufty, meanwhile, won the men's high jump in seasonal-best mark of 6-06.00 (1.98m).
Â
STANFORD INVITATIONAL RECAP:The Vikings set or bettered five Big Sky-leading marks at the Stanford Invitational, April 3-4, at the Cobb Track and Angell Field in Stanford, Calif. Senior
Jasmine Woods, sophomore
Baileh Simms and seniors
Jazmin Ratcliff and
Camelia Mayfield all set individual leading marks, while the Vikings' 4x100-meter relay team set the leading mark in the conference as well. Woods and Mayfield lowered their leading times at the meet, as Woods won the 100 in 11.71 seconds, while Mayfield set a huge personal best in the 10,000 meters with her time of 34:35.88. Simms, meanwhile, took a commanding lead in the women's long jump, as she jumped a personal-best 19-08.00 (5.99m), just under six inches greater than the No. 2 mark in the conference, which Simms' freshman teammate
Ta'mara Richey set at 19-02.50 (5.85m) at the same meet. Ratcliff, the 2014 Big Sky champion in the 100-meter hurdles, also reclaimed the lead in her primary event, as she finished the prelims of the short hurdles in 13.97 seconds. The Vikings then capped the meet with a Big Sky-leading time in the 4x100-meter relay on the meet's second day, as they finished in 45.65 seconds.
Â
TEXAS RELAYS RECAP:Portland State senior
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 at Mike A. Myers Stadium on March 27. Woods' time beat her old personal best in the 100 by two-hundredths of a second, and moves her up to sixth all-time at Portland State. Additionally, 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. Sophomore
Baileh Simms also hit a Big Sky qualifying mark while placing fourth in the 'B' section of the women's long jump at the meet. Simms jumped 18-08.50 (5.70m) on her fourth attempt in the event, moving her up to fourth in the Big Sky Conference. Sophomore
Genna Settle set a seasonal best with her time of 12.04 seconds in the 100 meters as well, while Settle, Woods, Simms and senior
Jazmin Ratcliff collectively set a seasonal best in the 4x100-meter relay with their time of 46.32.
Â
ROSE CITY PREVIEW RECAP:The Vikings' sprinters dominated the team's first home meet since 2000, going 1-2-3 in four different events while winning two others, as the Vikings hosted the Rose City Preview on March 21 at Earl Klapstein Stadium in Gresham, Ore. The Vikings swept the top three spots in the women's 100 and 200 meters, as well as the 100-meter hurdles and 400-meter hurdles. Sophomore
Whitney Diggs also won the 400 meters in a Big Sky-qualifying 55.29 seconds, while the Vikings won the 4x100-meter relay by nearly a full second. Senior
Jasmine Woods led the Vikings' sprinting showcase, as she won the 100 and 200 meters at the meet, and ran one of the legs of the Vikings' winning 4x100-meter relay team. Woods won the 100 and 200 meters while hitting Big Sky qualifying times in each event, running the 100 in 11.88 seconds, and the 200 in 24.42 seconds. Senior
Jazmin Ratcliff, meanwhile, led the Vikings' sweep in the 100-meter hurdles, as she started her defense of her 2014 Big Sky title in the event with a Big Sky-qualifying time of 14.20 seconds. Sophomores
CeCelia Jackson and
Akayla Anderson followed Ratcliff in second and third, respectively, while Jackson also hit a Big Sky qualifying mark with her time of 14.40 seconds. Additionally, Jackson led the Vikings' sweep in the 400-meter hurdles, finishing ahead of teammates
Roazena Miller and Anderson. Junior
Sheldon Prince also hit a Big Sky qualifying mark in the men's 400 meters, as he placed third in the event in 48.45 seconds.
Â
LINFIELD ERIK ANDERSON MEMORIAL ICEBREAKER RECAP:The Viking distance crew led Portland State at the season-opening Linfield Erik Anderson Memorial Icebreaker in McMinnville, Ore., on March 6-7. The Vikings hit five Big Sky qualifying marks at the meet between three marks in the women's 10,000 meters and two in the men's 800 meters. Senior
Camelia Mayfield led the Vikings' three qualifiers in the women's 10,000 meters, as she placed second in the event in 36:00.94. Sophomores
Maggie Coleman and
Cheryn Trapp followed Mayfield with qualifying marks of their own, as Coleman placed fifth in 36:32.11, while Trapp placed ninth in 37:40.11. Sophomore
Nathan Fleck and junior
T-Roy Brown, meanwhile, qualified in the men's 800 meters while placing first and second, respectively, in the event. Fleck won the event in 1:52.82, while Brown placed close behind in 1:53.06.
Â
VIKINGS IN NATIONAL RANKINGS:The Vikings have three athletes ranked in the top 95 in the nation, led by senior
Camelia Mayfield, who ranks 62nd in the women's 10,000 meters off her time of 34:35.88 at the Stanford Invitational on April 3. Sophomore
Baileh Simms also set a nationally competitive mark at the Stanford Invitational, as she jumped a personal-best 19-08.00 (5.99m) in the women's long jump, ranking her 68th in the event this season. Besides those two, senior
Jasmine Woods moved up to 70th in the women's 100 meters with her time of 11.63 seconds at the Mt. SAC Relays two weekends ago.
Â
VIKINGS IN NCAA WEST RANKINGS:More important than the national rankings, however, is the fact that the Vikings have three athletes ranked in the top 48 in the NCAA West region, putting them in position to qualify for the NCAA West Preliminary in Austin, Texas, May 28-30. The top 48 declared student-athletes in each individual event qualify for the preliminary meet, as well as the top 24 declared relays teams. Sophomore
Baileh Simms ranks highest of the Vikings in the west region, as she currently sits 28th in the west in the women's long jump. Besides her, seniors
Jasmine Woods and
Camelia Mayfield also stand in position to qualify for the regional meet, as they rank tied for 32nd and 37th, respectively, in the women's 100 and 10,000 meters. The Vikings' 4x100-meter relay team also ranks 45th in the NCAA West region, putting them just outside of the top 24, where they will need to be to qualify for the meet. The qualification period for the NCAA West Preliminary ends at the end of the day on May 17, making the next few weeks of special importance for those Vikings still hoping to qualify for the regional meet.

2015 INDOOR SEASON RECAP:The Vikings had a somewhat disappointing end to what had been a highly successful indoor season at the Big Sky Championships in Flagstaff, Ariz., at the end of February. The Viking women had hoped to challenge for a Big Sky title at the meet, but placed tied for fourth instead, while the men finished last with eight total points. Senior
Jazmin Ratcliff still led an impressive showing from the Vikings in the 60-meter hurdles at the meet. The Vikings scored 22 points in the meet, highlighted by Ratcliff, who won the event in a school-record 8.33 seconds. Sophomore
Akayla Anderson placed second behind Ratcliff to earn All-Big Sky honors in the event as well, while senior
Jasmine Woods and sophomore
Genna Settle also earned All-Big Sky honors with second- and third-place finishes in the 60 and 200 meters, respectively. The Vikings also had several standout performances during the indoor regular season, as the Viking women won four Big Sky Athlete of the Week honors during the season. Ratcliff won two in a row at the start of the season, while junior
Sydney Johnson and sophomore
Genna Settle followed with their first career athlete of the week honors over the next two weeks. The Vikings also set two new school records at the UW Invitational, as junior
Amanda Boman broke the record in the women's 5,000 with her time of 17:01.73, while the Viking men's distance medley relay team broke a 10-year-old record with their time of 10:05.11 in the event.
