LOS ANGELES – Six student-athletes achieved California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Championship qualifiers for the Cal State San Marcos women's track & field team at the Oxy Distance Carnival at Bill Henry Track on the campus of Occidental College on Friday.

Senior Raelyn Werley ran a personal best in the 5000m, registering a time of 17:15.04 to finish 14th overall. Her mark qualified her for the CCAA Championship and currently stands as the second-fastest in the conference this year. The time also reached the NCAA Division II provisional qualifier; however as Candidacy Year Three members of NCAA Division II, the Cougars are not eligible to compete at national championships.

In all, five Cougars achieved CCAA qualifiers in the 5000m, including junior Natalie Rodriguez (17:33.47) who finished 26th and is now qualified in two events, having previously hit the standard in the 1500m. Joining Werley and Rodriguez were the trio of senior Salena Gallardo (17:37.75), junior Paula Stonehouse (17:52.51) and senior Alyssa Omahen (18:23.03), who each established personal bests in the race. Rodriguez has the fourth-fastest time in the CCAA, while Gallardo's is the fifth-fastest.

Sophomore Shelby Eberwein ran a CCAA qualifier in the 3000m steeplechase, posting a time of 11:44.45 to finish 11th in her first time competing in the event.

In the 800m, senior Cristen Lane (2:14.09) finished fourth and junior Elizabeth Buckle (2:16.97) placed fifth, establishing personal season best performances. Lane and Buckle's times currently rank as the second- and third-fastest, respectively, in the CCAA this year.

Freshman Devony Dettman finished second in the 100H, running a personal best of 15.02 that stands as the fourth-fastest in the CCAA. Dettman also picked up an eighth-place result in the 100m with a mark of 12.76.

Sophomore Domenique Barnes placed third in the javelin with a season best throw of 33.22m, the third-best mark in the conference.

Senior Jasmine Oliver finished seventh in the 100m with a time of 12.75. In the 400m, sophomore Lauren Wyckoff ran a season best 1:00.54 to place eighth and freshman Tye Gray finished 10th with a personal best 1:01.88.

Freshman Ana Mercado-Yateem placed ninth in the discus with a throw of 34.24m.

Senior Terra McGinnis closed out the competition for the Cougars, finishing ninth in the 10,000m with a time of 38:32.40.
