King followed up her career-best time of 7.49 seconds in the 60-meters with a conference record setting time of 23.77 in the women's 200-meters beating the previous record of 23.82 set by Joyce Rainwater of Eastern Washington in 1995.

“I feel great,” King said following her record setting performance. “I feel honored. This is my last indoor meet and I don't have an outdoor season, so this is my last Big Sky meet and I feel honored to represent Portland State. This track has some tight corners, which made the race tough, but once I hit the straightaway, it was time to go.”

Along with King’ s conference record, the quartet of Dejuanae Toliver, Joenisha Vinson, Ashley Frazier and Dominique Maloney combined for a third place finish in the women's 4x400-meter relay with a time of 3:46.80 to break the Portland State record for the event.

The Vikings' women's team finished third overall with 90 points. The 90 points is the most since 2007 when the team finished third with 99.5 points.

Elsewhere and in the Big 10 Conference Championships, Illinois’ senior and defending champion Ashley Kelly, had to settle for fourth place in the 400m despite a season’s best time of 54.47 seconds after running 54.61 to advance to the final. She was eight in the 200m in 24.16 seconds, after becoming the Territory’s No. 2 all-time performer behind King, with her 24.07 prelims run.

Kelly teamed with Spencer, Asia Thomas and Latoya Griffith to set a Big Ten meet record and school record in the 4 x 400m relay, where they ran 3:34.89 to win the event for the first time in the conference championships since 2005. Illinois finished in fourth place with 79 points, the highest finish for the Illini since the 2007 season.
