Competing in front of hundreds of spectators on the campus of Cal State San Marcos, Coach Steve Scott's track & field team gave the fans plenty to cheer about at the second annual Mangrum Invitational.

Anthony Harbor made quite the first impression, dazzling the fans with the blend of versatility and explosive speed that's already earned him five qualifying marks for May's NAIA National Championships.  He defeated a stacked field in the 400-meter hurdles, running 52.56 to finish in first place.

Harbor also helped the Cougar men's 4x400-meter relay team to a victory.  The squad of Brett Campfield, Nicholas Stein, Yuto Someya, and Harbor completed the relay in 3:17.24, more than 4 seconds clear of Point Loma.  Stein also took second in the individual 400-meter dash at 49.66 seconds.

Campfield was another big winner on the day.  The Princeton transfer won the 800-meter run with a time of 1:52.58, finishing ahead of the 10 USC runners in the race.
