09/13/25 | Cross Country, Track and Field
Jorinde van Klinken advances to Sunday’s final of the women’s discus.
EUGENE, Ore. – Jorinde van Klinken had the second-farthest throw in the qualification round of the women's discus. On her first—and only—toss of the competition, she had a measure of 66.39m/217-9 which surpassed the auto qualifier (64.00 meters) and secured her spot in Sunday's final (3:12 a.m. PT, Peacock).
Â
Van Klinken is also entered in the shot put alongside former UO teammate Jaida Ross.
Â
In the heats of the women's 1500 meters, Oregon alum Susan Lokayo Ejore, Jessica Hull and Klaudia Kazimierska all ran to top-six automatic qualifiers in their respective heats. Ejore turned in the third-fastest time in the round with a 4:01.99. Hull and Kazimierska posted times of 4:04.40 and 4:07.34, respectively. Only the top six in each heat advanced.
Â
The semifinal round of the event is scheduled for Sunday at 5:07 a.m. PT.
Â
Nikki Hiltz, who began at Oregon before finishing their collegiate career at Arkansas, also advanced in the 1500 meters. Hiltz clocked a time of 4:01.73, just ahead of Ejore in heat three.
