SEATTLE — In one of the final events of day one at the Ken Shannon Last Chance Invite,
Eva Lowder moved from No. 21 in Division I and into a tie for 13th in the women's pole vault after she set a Washington State women's indoor program record by clearing 4.38m (14' 4.5") Friday at the Dempsey Indoor Center.
Micaela De Mello also moved from outside of the top-20 into a tie for 14th in Division I in the women's 60m hurdles with a personal-best 8.13 to place second, and

Lowder's 4.38m vault broke Tamara Diles's mark from 2002, a mark which also stood as both a women's program and women's freshman record. Her fellow freshman pole vaulter,
Tatum Moku, also notched a PR Friday night in the Dempsey Indoor, claiming the sixth spot with a final mark of 4.14m.
Brian Barsaiya (8:02.22) and
