COMPLETE MEET RESULTS

By Isaac Fernandez, Assistant SID

McMINNVILLE – Carson Le Bel notched the national 'B' standard in the pole vault, and the Southern Oregon track and field team walked away with five personal bests and four event wins Saturday at Linfield's Jenn Boyman Memorial Invitational.

Le Bel established a new PR by vaulting 4.87 meters (15 feet 11¾ inches) to become a provisional qualifier for the NAIA Outdoor Championships and land at No. 6 on the national performance list. He cleared the height on his first attempt to share the win with Oregon Tech's Tyas Selby. Le Bel, a junior from Central Point, is coming off his second NAIA All-America performance in February at the NAIA Indoor Championships, where he finished fourth in the pole vault by clearing 4.85 meters.

Katherine Martinez also set a personal best in the women's pole vault, improving the 'B' she'd already established to the NAIA's new No. 7 mark of 3.69 meters (12-01¼). She needed three attempts to get over 3.54 meters but cleared the 3.69 bar on her first to top a field of 17.

On the track, Asher Tatsumi won the 10,000-meter race in a time of 33 minutes 9.68 seconds and teammate Logan Huffman finished runner-up in 33:12.66. Tatsumi, a senior from Newberg, secured his first collegiate victory by closing the last lap in 64.9 seconds.

Abi Stevens also had a day -- placing first in high jump (1.68m/5-6), second in the 100-meter hurdles (14.98), and 10th in the javelin (32.62m/107-00) while setting season bests in all three events. The national champion is less than two weeks away from competing at Cascade Conference Multi-Event Championships, April 17-18 in Klamath Falls.

Kobe Johnson placed third in shot put with a personal best of 15.88 meters (52-01¼) and moved up to No. 16 on the outdoor performance list. It's the senior's farthest throw since his time with Lane C.C. when he posted a mark of 15.51 meters at the Oregon State High Performance meet.

Isaiah Hidalgo set personal bests in the 100-meter (12.02) and 200-meter (25.04). The distance events saw season bests in the 800 for Ashley Jentzsch (2:47.15) and Rafe Blandini (2:00.09). Jentzsch also set a season best in 1,500 (5:27.51).

The Raiders travel north again next weekend for Western Oregon University's John Knight Twilight.
