Eugene and McMinnville,  Ore. – The Boxer men and women's track teams sent some athletes to Eugene to compete at the Oregon Twilight at Hayward Field on Friday night, May 5. Then the following day, Saturday May 6, more of the team went to Linfield to compete in the Linfield Open. 

Lucas Dahl had the best finish by a Boxer at the Oregon Twilight. He placed 2nd in the men's long jump with a leap of 6.63m (21-09.00). He also placed fourth in the men's 200m with a new PR of 21.66. That moves Dahl up to #3 on the Top-Ten List. 

Dominic Funk also had a top-five finish in the men's javelin. Funk placed 5th with a throw of 61.68m (202-04), a very consistent mark for him this season. 

At the Linfield Open, the men's 4x800m relay team started off the meet with a third place finish and time of 8:25.02. The 4x800m relay is not a regularly contested event in the NCAA. Then Emily Rutkowski made her 800m debut and took fifth place overall by winning her heat in 2:30.36.
