Tucson, Ariz. – Oklahoma State's weekend at the Jim Click Shootout was highlighted by successful outings from Cowgirl throwers Megan Honas and Ieva Zarankaite, who both landed some of the best marks in the West Region in their respective events.

Zarankaite won the shot put for the third time in three attempts this season, this time putting up a personal best mark of 15.37m/50-5.0. It's the No. 4 throw in school history and makes her the fourth Cowgirl to ever record a mark of 50 feet or better in the event.

"The throwers talked Friday night about taking advantage of this opportunity to compete in good weather and in a good environment," throws coach Josh Langley said. "Ieva took that to heart and had a great weekend."

In the discus, Zarankaite's win streak was snapped, but she took second with a throw of 54.04m/177-3.5, less than a foot from her personal best that is the No. 2 mark in Cowgirl history.

"It was her first time over 54 meters in the discus in about two years and a PR in the shot," Langley said. "I'm excited to get out to Mt. SAC next week and watch her compete."

With her mark in the discus, Zarankaite qualifies for the European U23 Championships and the World University Games. Both competitions will take place this summer.

The throws put Zarankaite into the top-20 in the West Region in the shot put and into the top-10 in the discus, where she sits behind only two Big 12 athletes.

The senior javelin school record-holder, Honas, won her second javelin competition of the season and moved into a qualifying position for the NCAA West Regional with her throw of 46.32m/151-11.5.

Redshirt freshman Sukhi Khosla and senior Brigham Hedges went two-three in the men's 1,500-meter run and Kaytlyn Larson and Clara Nichols did the same in the women's 800.

Anthony Grogan Jr., ran a conference top-10 mark in the 200-meter dash, clocking a 21.45 in his open outdoor season debut. It was his only individual race of the day, but the Cowboy sophomore was busy on the track as a member of the 4X100-and 4X400-meter relay teams in Tucson, Arizona.

The squads return to Stillwater, but won't be in town for long as their next big weekend of competition is approaching fast.

Next weekend, OSU sends groups to the Mt. SAC Relays and the Bryan Clay Invitational in California, and down to Austin for the Texas Invitational.
