SALEM, Ore.---Senior sprinter Maya Murphy-Cook from the Pilots women's track and field team, and veteran Caleb Webb from the Pilots men's team both claimed Top-10 all-time finishes at the Willamette Dual Meet in Salem on Thursday night.
 
Murphy-Cook registered the individual win and a new personal best of 25.20 in the women's 200 meter dash, which ties the fourth-place program record in the event. Webb completed the men's 800 meter run in a time of 1:51.56 to collect the overall win in addition to recording the eighth-best time in school history.
 
Several Pilots from both squads were making their debut performances in new events on the day, including McKenna Smith in the women's 3000 meter run, who clocked in at 10:27.05 for first-place overall in the race.
 
The women's 200 meter dash also saw several improvements from previous personal bests, with Tara Fuiten finishing in second place just behind Murphy-Cook at 25.84, and Michal Jones crossing in third place at 25.89. Audrey Lewis (26.00), Ella Parker (26.35), and Payton Kirtley (26.58) each came out of the sprint with new PRs. Parker also ended the day with a new personal best in the 400 meter dash with a time of 1:00.39.
 
Lauren Block earned the final individual win for the women's team in the 800 meter run, finishing in a time of 2:18.47 for a new personal record.
 
"The team did great and won each event we were in," said women's head coach Ian Solof. "Our sprinters looked excellent in the 200 and really impressed me."
 
On the men's side, Justin Hazell collected a first place victory in the men's 3000 meter run with a time of 8:24.62. Peter Allegre came in shortly after at 8:31.10 for second place, and coming in at third was Leo Donlea in 8:37.77.
