SPOKANE, Wash. -- The Gonzaga women's track and field team has seven student-athletes in three events at the sixth annual Oregon State High Performance Meet. The Zags will run in the meet's distance carnival at the Whyte Track and Field Center Friday.
Former Olympians and a strong collegiate field will compete at the meet. Approximately 700 competitors are expected for the event, which has evolved from modest beginnings to one of the premier regular-season meets in the Pacific Northwest. Twenty-five teams are expected to be in attendance spanning all levels of collegiate athletics. Teams competing are Oregon State, Oregon, Gonzaga, Colorado, Idaho, Portland State and more.
