SPOKANE, Wash. -- The second day of the 13th Sam Adams Classic track and field meet provided another mix of rain with some snow and a little dark of night but also some solid performances by the Washington State University competitors Friday at the Pine Bowl/Boppell Track on the Whitworth University in Spokane.
 
Molly Scharmann (redshirt sophomore, Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.) won the women's pole vault with an outdoor lifetime-best mark of 13-feet 1 1/2 inches (4.00m). Scharmann cleared her final height on her third attempt and then missed the next three at 13-5 1/4 (4.10m). Her PR of 13-3 1/2 (4.05m), fourth-best in WSU all-time records, was accomplished during the 2018 indoor season.
 
Chrisshnay Brown (junior, Lompoc, Calif.) won the women's shot put with a season-best throw of 44-5 1/4 (13.54m) and finished second in the discus with a throw of 145-8 (44.40m), just three inches off her PR mark.
 
In the men's field events, Tucker Mjelde (redshirt junior, Maple Valley, Wash.) won the pole vault after clearing a height of 15-1 (4.60m).
 
Peyton Fredrickson (junior, Ridgefield, Wash.) and Mitch Jacobson (freshman, Walla Walla) tied for first in the high jump after clearing the bar at 6-6 3/4 (2.00m). Beau Sheeran and Max English also cleared 6-6 3/4 (2.00m) but were relegated to third and fourth place, respectively, based on missed jumps.
 
Tyler Jackson (redshirt senior, Richland, Wash.) won the discus with a season-best toss of 161-7 (49.26m), just 13 inches below his lifetime best discus throw.
 
On the track, Cameron Dean (sophomore, Spokane) won the 3000m steeplechase in a time of 9 minutes 41.74 seconds.
