University of Oregon announces Four More Wins In TTU, UW Finales

From January 28, 2023 post.

EUGENE, Ore. – Between efforts at the Texas Tech Open and UW Invitational, the Oregon track and field team closed out its weekend with seven top-10 program marks and four wins. Among the highlights was an improved school record by Jorinde Van Klinken who reset her own record in the shot put. Saturday's winners' circle also included Elliott Cook (800m/UW), Izzy Thornton-Bott (mile/UW) and Lexi Ellis (triple jump/TTU).
 
Van Klinken became the first UO woman to eclipse 60 feet in the shot put, doing so twice with measures of 18.47m/60-7.25 and 18.55m/60-10.5 during Saturday's series. With the result, she lengthens her lead in the NCAA this season. Van Klinken, the No. 6 indoor performer in collegiate history, has now thrown beyond 18 meters 12 times during her career.
 
In Saturday's competition, she led a 1-3-4 finish for the Ducks with Jaida Ross and Mine De Klerk in third and fourth, respectively. Ross posted a day's best of 17.26m/56-7.5 on her second attempt and De Klerk established an indoor best of 16.75m/54-11.5 to move to fifth on the program's top-10 list.
 
Cook, on the heels of Friday night's DMR anchor duties, returned to the track to record a lifetime best of 1:46.93 and win the 800 meters in Seattle. With the performance, he established a new meet record for the UW Invitational and knocked more than a second off his previous best (1:47.95) set last year. Cook is now the fourth on UO list and joins Charlie Hunter, Andrew Wheating and Elijah Greer as the only four to dip below 1:47 in program history.
