EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon junior Taylor Chocek sits in ninth place overall, and fourth among collegians, after day one of the heptathlon at the 63rd Mt. SAC Relays. Through four events, she has 3,408 points which surpasses her previous day-one best of 3,338 points from last year's Bryan Clay Invitational.

Chocek got her week started by approaching the 1,000-point mark with a lifetime best of 13.87 in the 100-meter hurdles. She erased her previous best of 14.00 from last year's Oregon Relays, and through one event, sat in 10th place in the overall standings with 997 points.
After a day's best clearance of 1.65m/5-5 in the high jump, Chocek followed with a season best in the shot put. She got the implement out to 12.51m/41-0.5 on her second of three attempts. Adding those 695 points to her total, Chocek went into the 200 meters with 2,487 points through three events.
In the final event of the day, Chocek clocked an all-conditions best of 24.63 (+2.4) in the 200 meters. Earlier this season, she ran 24.77 at the Oregon Preview.
