PALO ALTO, Calif. -
Four runners set new personal bests and three jumpers landed top-five finishes in their respective events to lead the Oklahoma State men's and women's track and field teams in day one of the Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif., on Friday.
On the men's side, in the 3,000 meter steeplechase, Taylor Monaghan ran a personal-best 8:56.14, which was good enough for third place in his heat and eighth overall.
Brian Gohlke picked up a personal best of his own in the 5,000 meters. His time of 14:11.46 earned him tenth place in his heat.
The jumpers also turned in good performances. In the high jump, Taylor Buck finished in a tie for fifth, clearing 2.06m/6-9.00, and Cody Kenny finished third in the long jump, with a mark of 6.83m/22-5.00.
On the women's side, in the 3,000 meter steeplechase, Kate Kujawa finished fourth in her heat, in a personal-best 10:15.55. Adela Hofmannova ran the 1,500 meters in a personal-record time of 4:27.78 to grab ninth in her heat.
In the long jump invite, Taylor Stolt landed in third place, with a mark of 5.84m/19-2.00.
"If I was grading today's performance, it would be around a 'C,'" OSU Coach Dave Smith said. "We got off to a really rough start, but we also had some nice performances. I thought Taylor Monaghan was awesome and Kate Kujawa was very good. Also, Adela Hofmannova and Brian Gohlke set personal records. I thought the jumpers did a pretty good job, too."
The OSU track and field teams will resume action at the Stanford Invitational with day two beginning at 11 a.m., central time, on Saturday.
