 Competing at the event named after its coach, the Cal State San Marcos Track & Field team was at UC Irvine for the Steve Scott Invitational on Saturday for their penultimate meet of the regular season.

That meant it was the second-to-last chance to qualify for May's NAIA National Championships, and the women's 4x800-meter relay team took full advantage.  Running for the first time this season, the squad did what was expected of them, running 9:19.67 to easily meet the “A” standard for Nationals.

Much of the team sat the meet out, given its proximity to Nationals.  High finishers for the Cougars included David Cummings taking 8^th in the 5,000-meter at 15:16.60 and Dylan Kirchberg placing 8^th in the javelin with a distance of 53.38 meters.  Also competing in the field were pole vaulters Calah Ayer and Meghan Freund, and hammer throw school record-holder Alison Ogilvie, among others.

CSUSM's final meet before Nationals will be next week's Occidental Invitational.
