Vikings Set for Final Regular-Season Tune-Up at Oregon Twilight Friday

Complete meet notes (PDF)

PORTLAND, Ore. —
The Portland State track and field teams look to bolster their position for the Big Sky meet, as they compete at their final regular-season tune-up Friday at the Oregon Twilight at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
 
Only eight Vikings will head to the Oregon Twilight meet Friday, but all eight will look to move up in the conference rankings in the six events in which they are scheduled to compete.
 
Junior Rockwell Tufty has perhaps the most to gain of any of the Vikings' athletes at the Oregon Twilight meet, as he enters the meet on the qualifying bubble for high jump at the NCAA West Preliminary meet thanks to a school-record performance at last weekend's OSU High Performance Meet. Tufty broke his own record with a clearance of 6-10.25 (2.09m) at the meet last weekend, which moved him into a tie for 50th in the NCAA west region.
 
Tufty's scaling of the west rankings puts him just outside of the top 48 in the event, giving him a chance of qualifying for the NCAA West Preliminary Meet with less than two weeks left in the qualifying period. The top 48 declared student-athletes will qualify for each individual event at the regional meet, meaning Tufty would finish just short of qualifying if the qualifying period ended today and all the athletes ahead of him declared for the meet.
 
Junior Tyson Stipic will also compete alongside Tufty in the high jump, and will try to move up the Big Sky rankings himself, as he enters the meet 12th in the conference in the event thanks to his seasonal best of 6-04.75 (1.95m), set at the Rose City Preview on March 21.
 
Junior Spencer Russell and sophomore Ben Richardson, meanwhile, will need strong times in the men's 800 meters in order to qualify for the Big Sky meet next week. Neither runner has the Big Sky qualifying mark in the 800 this season, and even hitting it Friday wouldn't guarantee them a spot since 22 athletes have already hit it, meaning some athletes with the mark will be left home as the field gets cut to 20 for the Big Sky meet. Currently, Northern Colorado's Keegan Lape owns the 20th-best time in the conference at 1:53.11, about half-a-second ahead of Russell's seasonal best of 1:53.55, and more than a full second ahead of Richardson's seasonal best of 1:54.18.
 
The Vikings will also have a pair of athletes competing in the women's triple jump in freshman Ta'mara Richey and junior D'nara Jones. Richey will be coming off a personal best of 19-06.00 (5.94m) in the long jump at last weekend's OSU High Performance Meet, and ranks third in both the long jump and triple jump within the Big Sky this season. Jones will have more of a chance to move up in the triple jump Friday, however, as she enters the meet ninth in the Big Sky.
 
Additionally, junior Major Oni returns to the site of his historic throw in the hammer earlier this season, as Oni recorded the best mark in the hammer by a Viking in over 40 years at the Oregon Relays three weeks ago. Oni recorded a throw of 163-02 (49.74m) at the Oregon Relays, a mark that ranks second only to Steve James' school record of 176-00 (53.64m), which James set way back in 1971.
 
Brown also set an historic mark in the men's 1,500 meters at the Oregon Relays, and will return to that event Friday. Brown finished the 1,500 at the Oregon Relays in 3:51.25, the best time by a Viking since Mike Kebbe ran the 1,500 meters in 3:50.40 in 2004.
 
Brown will also run in the 1,000 meters later in the day, but won't have as much on the line for that race since the Big Sky does not sponsor the 1,000 meters at its conference outdoor meet.
 
The meet gets underway at 3 p.m. with the men's hammer, and will run until the conclusion of the men's invitational mile, which will start at 6:47 p.m.

PAYTON JORDAN INVITATIONAL RECAP:
Senior Camelia Mayfield broke 17 minutes in the 5,000 meters at the Payton Jordan Invitational, May 2, at Cobb Track and Angell Field in Stanford, Calif. – the second straight meet in which she's beaten that barrier. Mayfield finished the 5,000 in 16:59.83 at the Payton Jordan Invitational, just behind her personal best of 16:58.50, which she set at the Oregon Relays on April 17. Sophomore Cheryn Trapp also ran with Mayfield in the 5,000 at the meet, but did not finish the race.
 
MT. HOOD TRACK FESTIVAL RECAP:
Freshman Nyalual Beng shaved close to four seconds off her personal best in the 800 meters, as she led a small group of Vikings at the Mt. Hood Track Festival, May 2, at Earl Klapstein Stadium in Gresham, Ore. Beng placed third overall in the 800 in 2:14.47, more than 3.5 seconds better than her prep personal best of 2:18, and well ahead of her previous seasonal best at Portland State of 2:18.12. Two other freshmen joined Beng with their own personal bests at the meet as well between Ethan Cotton in the 1,500 meters and Shasta Wilson in the javelin. Cotton crossed the line in the 1,500 in 4:30.09, more than three seconds better than his previous personal best, which he set at 4:33.21 at the John Knight Twilight meet earlier this season. Wilson, meanwhile, beat her previous best in the javelin by nearly eight feet with a throw of 120-03.75 (36.67m) at the meet.
 
OSU HIGH PERFORMANCE RECAP:
Sophomore Genna Settle blew away the field while setting a meet record in the 100 meters, while junior Rockwell Tufty broke his own school record in the men's high jump, as the pair of them led the Vikings at the OSU High Performance Meet, April 30-May 1, at Whyte Track and Field Center in Corvallis, Ore. Settle won the 100 meters in 11.70 seconds, .19 seconds faster than her nearest competitor, and more than a full quarter of a second faster than the previous meet record of 11.96 seconds. Settle's time also set a new personal best for the sophomore, and moved her up to fifth all-time in the 100 meters at Portland State. Tufty, meanwhile, cleared 6-10.25 (2.09m) to break his own school record in the event. Tufty set the record at 6-09.75 (2.08m) initially, but beat that by half an inch at the OSU meet. Additionally, the rest of the Vikings added four more event wins at the meet, starting with sophomore Baileh Simms, who led a great showing from the Vikings in the women's long jump. Simms won the event with a jump of 19-06.25 (5.95m), edging out freshman teammate Ta'mara Richey, who finished a quarter of an inch back of Simms at 19-06.00 (5.94m). Senior Jazmin Ratcliff, meanwhile, added another event win in the 100-meter hurdles, as she lowered her Big Sky-leading time in the event with her finish in 13.78 seconds. Fellow senior Jasmine Woods also won the 200 meters for the Vikings, as she edged out Oregon State Kerissa D'Arpino at the line to win in 24.26 seconds to D'Arpino's 24.27 seconds. Woods also ran the third leg of the Vikings' 4x100-meter relay team that won its third race of the season. Woods joined regular relay teammates Ratcliff, Settle and Simms to blow away the field, as they finished more than a second ahead of their closest competitor in 45.76 seconds.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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).
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
VIKINGS IN NATIONAL RANKINGS:
The Vikings have four athletes ranked in the top 100 in the nation in their respective events, led by senior Camelia Mayfield, who ranks 66th in the women's 10,000 meters off her time of 34:35.88 at the Stanford Invitational on April 3. Junior Rockwell Tufty, meanwhile, ranks as the second highest Viking in the national ranks, as he moved up to 71st in the men's high jump with his school-record mark of 6-10.25 (2.09m) at last weekend's OSU High Performance Meet. Senior Jasmine Woods also ranks 89th in the nation with her time of 11.63 seconds in the 100 meters, set at the Mt. SAC Relays on April 17, while sophomore Baileh Simms ranks 91st in the nation with her mark of 19-08.00 (5.99m) in the long jump, set at the Stanford Invitational on April 3.
 
VIKINGS IN NCAA WEST RANKINGS:
More important than the national rankings, however, is the fact that the Vikings have four athletes ranked in the top 48 in the NCAA west region in their respective events, 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 and freshman Ta'mara Richey each currently stand in position to qualify for the meet in the women's long jump, as they rank 36th and 44th, respectively in the NCAA West. Seniors Jasmine Woods and Camelia Mayfield also rank in the top 48 of their primary events, as they rank 37th and 39th in the 100 and 10,000 meters, respectively. The qualification period for the NCAA West Preliminary ends at the end of the day on May 17, making the next two weekends of special importance for those Vikings still hoping to qualify for the regional meet.
 
BUBBLE WATCH:
Besides the four Vikings currently in position to qualify for the NCAA West Preliminary, the Vikings also have five more athletes just on the wrong side of the qualifying bubble going into the final two weeks of the qualifying period. Those five rank just off the marks needed to rank in the top 48 of their events. Sophomore Genna Settle, for instance, ranks tied for 52nd in the NCAA west in the 100 meters with her time of 11.70 seconds, just .02 seconds behind the current last qualifier in the event. Junior Rockwell Tufty, meanwhile, put himself on the qualifying bubble with his mark of 6-10.25 (2.09m) in the high jump last weekend. Tufty now ranks tied for 50th in the NCAA west in the men's high jump, and just half-an-inch short of the current final qualifying mark of 6-10.75 (2.10m). The Vikings also have three athletes on the bubble in the 100-meter hurdles, as senior Jazmin Ratcliff and sophomores CeCelia Jackson and Akayla Anderson all rank within at least .13 seconds of the current final qualifying time in the event. Ratcliff stands just .04 seconds behind the final qualifying time, as her seasonal best of 13.78 seconds puts her just outside of the field at 52nd in the NCAA west. Jackson and Anderson, meanwhile, rank a bit behind Ratcliff, but still within striking distance at 59th and tied for 61st in the NCAA west, respectively. It's still possible for an athlete not ranked in the top 48 in the NCAA west to make the regional meet, as competitors still need to declare for each event at the meet, and some spots may open up if some athletes opt out of one event in favor of another.

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.
