Corvallis, Ore. – Isabelle Esler unleased the second-longest throw in Oregon State women's track and field history to win the javelin on Saturday, leading the Beavers on Day 2 of the High Performance meet at the Whyte Track & Field Center.
A freshman from St. Mary's Academy in Portland, Esler's winning throw of 165-11 came on her second attempt and was a PR by more than 14 feet. She moved from sixth to second on OSU's all-time list and sparked a 1-3-4-5-6 finish in the event.
"I been putting in the training and was waiting for a big [throw], I've been waiting for one since high school," said Esler, whose parents and other family members treated her to a celebratory Family Weekend lunch at Tacovore following her victory.
