STILLWATER, Okla. - Nick Miller's school record in the hammer throw, and Taylor Stolt and Chase Ealey both hitting marks that rank in the top-10 in school history highlighted Oklahoma State's showing at the Tulsa Duels this weekend.
Oklahoma State secured event wins at the meet from Clara Nichols in the women's 800 meters, Caitlin Way in the women's hammer throw, Tyler Payton in the men's 400 meters, Taylor Monaghan in the men's 2,000 meter steeplechase and Miller in the men's hammer throw.
Nine OSU athletes hit personal bests as part of the weekend's action, highlighted by Stolt's 6.01m/19-8.5 in the long jump, which represented a significant improvement from her previous best mark of 5.75m/10-18.5. Stolt's jump Saturday was the best for a Cowgirl since 2009 and the ninth-best in school history.
"There was some good and there was some bad to the meet, but I'm happy with what Tyler Payton, Taylor Monaghan, the jumpers and Clara Nichols did," Coach Dave Smith said.
Ealey was strong as well, recording a 15.03m/49-3.75 in the shot put for the fourth-best mark in school history and the best performance for a Cowgirl since 2008.
On the men's side, Cody Kenny enjoyed the best all-around day of his career by hitting personal bests in the 100 meters, the 200 meters and the long jump.
"I'm very happy with Cody Kenny's performance," Smith said. "Zivile Pukstiene coaches him and she's been telling me all along that he's stronger than he's ever been and that he's ready to go. She's been waiting for this to happen and knew that he was going to have a good meet sooner or later. He had a great meet today."
Payton won Saturday's 400 meters in 48.16 to carry over the positive momentum he started by earning All-Big 12 honors during the indoor season in the 800 meters and as part of the OSU distance medley relay squad.
"Tyler has gained confidence and is really starting to feel good about himself," Smith said. "Bobby Lockhart coaches him and that group of 400/800 guys. It's a good training group."
Oklahoma State returns to action when it competes at the John Jacobs Invitational in Norman next weekend.
