Last Time Out - Spokane Invitational (Dec. 9, 2023)
WSU combined for four wins on the track and a pair of wins in the field in the indoor-season-opening Spokane Invitational from The Podium last month. Micaela De Mello (women's 60m hurdles, 8.40), Mason Lawyer (men's 60m, 6.70), Jasneet Nijjar (women's 300m, 37.67), and Jared McAlvey (men's 300m, 33.71) captured their first wins of the winter, and Caden Hottman (men's weight throw, 16.76m) and Eli Lawrence (men's triple jump, 14.71m) also came away with first-place finishes in their respective events.

Jasneet Nijjar (37.67) and Jared McAlvey (33.71) each took the top spot in the women's and men's 300m runs, respectively, and redshirt freshman Eli Lawrence won his first-career triple jump competition with a 14.71m mark to take the top spot.

Up Next:
Washington State will continue to build into a busy indoor season next week as select student-athletes return to competition in Moscow, Idaho, at the McCluskey Memorial Open from the P1FCU Kibbie Dome next Friday and Saturday, Jan. 19-20.
