Choate, Hatch, Wochnick Set Meet Records at UPS Open

Meet Results

Katie Choate - meet record in 800

TACOMA, Wash. - It was a big day for Pacific Lutheran women track & field athletes from Oregon at Friday's UPS Open. Two freshmen and a senior, all from Oregon and members of the Pacific Lutheran women's track & field team, set records at the meet held on a rainy Friday afternoon at the University of Puget Sound's Baker Stadium.

Katie Choate, a freshman from Astoria, won the 800-meter run in a meet record and collegiate personal best 2:21.06. Karin Hatch, a freshman from Portland, took down the meet record in the javelin with a throw of 127-1, also her collegiate personal best. Her performance ranks 17th on PLU's all-time top 25 list in that event. Megan Wochnick, a senior from Wilsonville, broke her own meet record in the hammer throw with a heave of 161-5.

Two other Oregon products finished in the top three in their event. Sophomore Faven Araya from Portland placed second in the 100-meter hurdles in a time of 15.84. That mark ranks her 17th on the all-time top 25 list at PLU. Finally, Portland native Amy LeBrun placed third in the 200 in a time of 27.43.
