PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Loggers competed in a number of different locations, racing well and picking up multiple Personal Bests (PBs) along the way. 

How it Happened
Bryan Clay Invitational
Three Loggers made the trip down to California for the Brian Clay invitational hosted by Azusa Pacific, competing against top DI, DII, and DIII talent from teams across the country. Avery Keith ran in the 400m, placing 19th with a time of 47.60, which marked a season best this year. He now sits tied-19th in the nation, which is just inside the NCAA qualifying mark. 

Kyrstin Wilson ran her second sub-12 second 100m dash time of the season, clocking in at 11.92 for the Loggers. While not her season best, she still was able to consistently stay under the 12 second mark. She followed her 22nd place run in the 100m with a 34th placed finish in the 200m. Her time of 24.74 exactly matched her best time of the season, but fell just shy of the NCAA qualifying mark. Lizzie Beiswanger wrapped up the Logger runners in the 400m, running a season-best 56.32, which is currently the 20th best time in DIII.
