Logan scored big points for the Cougar women, winning the 60-meter hurdles in a personal-record time of 8.66 seconds, taking the long jump with a leap of 18 feet, 5 inches, and then added a second-place finish in the 200 (PR 25.82).

Scott-Ellis was Friday night’s long jump winner at 24-0 3/4 and returned to the sandpit Saturday to claim the triple jump with a leap of 50-1 1/4.

WSU’s Sean Harris won the men’s heptathlon with a PR 5,022 points.

Transfer Chanel James led a first through fourth Cougar finish in the 60-meter dash with a 7.79 time. Morgan Clem won the 200 in 25.42 and Ruby Roberts won the 800 in a PR time of 2:15.90. High jumper Holly Parent equaled her 2010 meet record of 5-8 3/4.

“It was a good, solid performance across the board for the Cougs,” WSU coach Rick Sloan said.
