FOREST GROVE, Ore. – Rachael Adkins posted a winning distance in the women's triple jump, one of five top 10 finishes by a select number of the George Fox University men's and women's track and field teams on the first day of competition in the fourth annual Pacific University Twilight Meet Friday here at Lincoln Park Stadium.

Adkins jumped 35-3.25 / 10.75m, a mere quarter of an inch further than Alissa Close of Concordia University-Portland, to win the triple jump.  Her best this season is a 36-6.25 (11.13m), which is second in the Northwest Conference only to teammate Angie Miller's 36-8.25 (11.18).

Two Bruins finished in the top 10 in the women's hammer, as Marlee Zakrevsky was sixth with a 152-1 / 46.36m and Hana Fisher was ninth with a 139-11 / 42.66m. 

In the men's events, Jon Udlock posted a 173-11 / 53.00m to place eighth in the javelin, and Arick Morrell threw the hammer 150-11 / 45.99m to finish 10th.

Over 1,000 athletes are on hand for the Pacific Twilight, which has gone to a two-day format this year for the first time.  More George Fox athletes will be on hand for Saturday's events, which get under way with field events at 10:00 a.m. and track events at 10:30 a.m., though seniors will be unable to participate due to the school's graduation services.
