The Cal State San Marcos Track and Field team competed at the UC Irvine
Steve Scott Invitational, named after their coach who starred for the Anteaters before going on to be a two-time Olympian.
The Cougars recorded several top performances, highlighted by

Other highlights for CSUSM included
Deng Akuien and Ishmael Rodriguez narrowly missing the NAIA 'B' standard in the steeplechase, as they ran 9:33 and 9:34 respectively.
Greg Talley placed 3
rd overall in the high jump with a leap of 2.05 meters, just a centimeter off his personal best and school record.
Daniel Lyon, already a double qualifier for NAIA Nationals in the 3000m steeplechase and the 5000m, just missed the 'A' standard in the 800m by five hundredths of a second, running 1:53.55. He also doubled up with an 'A' standard in the 1500m, running 3:50.90.
The Cougars will compete again next week at the Occidental Invitational in Los Angeles.
