COMPLETE RESULTS

SALEM, Ore.—Two school records fell while the Cavaliers added five NAIA qualifiers while competing at the Concordia/Willamette Dual on Saturday.

The quartet of Carlos Ortiz (Salem, Ore./North Salem H.S.), Andre Washington (Vancouver, Wash./Hudson's Bay H.S.), Jordan Reeher (Prineville, Ore./Crook County H.S.) and Eric Tolento (Salem, Ore./McKay H.S.) shattered the school's 400-meter relay record for the second time this season after posting a 41.72. The time cut .39 off the former record the foursome established at the Lewis & Clark Spring Break Open two weeks ago and puts the team at No. 7 on the NAIA performance list as a provisional qualifier.

Ortiz went on to win the open 100 with a time of 10.96 while Reeher tackled the field in the long jump with a 20-5 as the CU men's squad combined for 10 events wins.

Edgar Vazquez (San Juan Capistrano, Calif./Capistrano Valley H.S.) win the 400 with a season best 50.14 and Matthew Clowes (Stoke-on-Trent, England/Westwood College), 1:52.91 posted the No. 4 mark in school history by easily winning the 800-meter run, crossing the line with a 1:52.91. The time gives Clowes the No. 2-ranked time in the 800 and the 1,500 on the NAIA performance list.

In addition to Clowes' auto mark in the 800, Brad Prettyman (Estacada, Ore./Estacada H.S.) raced to the 'B' standard in the 1,500, winning the event with a 3:55.05 which fell just shy of the 3:54.50 'A' barrier.

The Cavs nearly swept all four of the throwing events on the women's side of the competition with Jessica Mattos (Corralitos, Calif./Aptos H.S.) winning the discus (146-1 1/2) and the hammer (149-3 1/4). Tori Dixson (Battle Ground, Wash./Battle Ground H.S.) earned gold in the shot put with a 40-7 and Emma Buchholz (Sheridan, Ore./Sheridan H.S.) led a strong CU contingent in the javelin with a 151-2 3/4.

Buchholz, who owns the NAIA's No.2 mark in eth javelin, was followed by Anneliese Wiseman (La Grande, Ore./La Grande H.S.) (131-3 3/4) and Shayna Wilson (Aberdeen, Wash./Aberdeen H.S.) (131-1) who both reached the NAIA 'B' standard while placing second and third overall.

The CU men won three of the four throwing events with Darien Moore (Bakersfield, Calif./Bakersfield H.S.) once again upping his school record in the hammer throw, this time uncorking a 214-1 for the win. Adam Riddle (Fox Island, Wash./Gig Harbor H.S.), second in the nation behind Moore, topped his career best in the event with a 206-11, a three-inch improvement on his former all-time best.

Moore also won the shot put with a 58-7 1/4 toss while teammate Nate Moses (Fresno, Calif./Bullard H.S.) captured the discus at 184-6 3/4.
