CORVALLIS, Ore. – Senior Kara Hallock took second and redshirt sophomore Saskia McNairy placed seventh on Sunday in the Pacific-12 Conference heptathlon championships on a historic day for the Oregon State women's program at the Whyte Track & Field Center.
Hallock scored 5,551 points in the seven-event, two-day competition, the No. 2 all-time mark at OSU and a PR by 172 points. She started Sunday's action in fourth place, but moved into second after the first event and never looked back.
"Of course I wanted to win, but once that wasn't in the cards I'm super-happy with second place," said Hallock, a Lebanon High School graduate who competed at Lane Community College for two years before transferring to OSU for the 2014-15 academic year.
