“We came here to improve on our performances from last weekend and that is definitely what we saw today,” said 49er head coach Andy Sythe.<\/p>\n
Senior Brent Gray was the top finisher in both sprint events, winning the 60-meter and 200-meter. Gray bettered his school record set last year in the 60m dash with a mark of 6.75. In the 200m, he clocked in at 20.94, just .01 seconds off his previous lifetime best. Senior Austin Fowler also had a good day in the sprint events, placing fifth in both the 60m and 200m.<\/p>\n
Senior Collin Cram was also a double winner as he claimed the pole vault and long jump. Cram posted the sixth-best mark in school history at 22-10.50 to win the latter event as the Beach completed a sweep in the long jump with freshmen Cameron Gillett (22-00.25) and Michael Vaughan (21-11.50) rounding out the top three.<\/p>\n
Sophomore Christopher Lawson finished ahead of the pack in the 60-meter hurdles, clocking in with the second-fastest mark in 49er history at 8.16 seconds. Classmate Nimrod Piggee, who won the same event at the Mountain T’s last weekend, had a third-place finish with a personal-best time of 8.31.<\/p>\n
Junior Alex Black wrapped up the top performers for the Long Beach State men, clearing 6-08.00 to win the high jump.<\/p>\n
Lawson, Fowler, Piggee and Richard Crawford also combined to take the top spot in the 4×400 relay. The quartet recorded the fifth-fastest time in school history at 3:15.44.<\/p>\n
On the women’s side, freshman BJ Triplett won the 60-meter dash in 7.8 seconds, ranking her fifth in the LBSU record books. Triplett also had a fifth-place showing in the 200m (25.65).<\/p>\n
Senior Miia Mobley picked up a first-place finish in the triple jump with a leap of 39-09.25, which puts her second on the all-time charts.<\/p>\n
Senior Katie Crowe was tied for first in the pole vault, but ended up taking second place in a jump-off with Northern Arizona’s Jami Michaud. Classmate Jennifer Onyeagbako, meanwhile, finished second in the shot put with a toss of 48-01.25. Both Crowe and Onyeagbako recorded personal bests in their respective events.<\/p>\n
Long Beach State will return to action next weekend when it heads to Seattle, Wash., for the Husky Classic from Feb. 14-15. The meet will mark the 49ers’ final tune-up before the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation indoor championships (Feb. 27-28).<\/p>\n
