Coach Steve Scott's Track & Field team team competed at a couple meets over the weekend, and as usual the Cougar athletes turned in numerous memorable performances.

Reigning National Champion Dallon Williams turned in a personal best time of 10:15.6 in the steeplechase at the Mt. Sac Invitational.  She is now just three seconds away from meeting the mark to qualify for the USATF Championships - the most prestigious track & field event in the country.

Kevin Ott Wright set a personal best at that event as well, winning the 400-meter hurdles in 52.21 seconds.

Morgan Sjogren also earned the "A" standard in the 5,000-meter run, running 17:26.  She is now qualified for Nationals in the marathon, 10k, 5k, and 1,500-meter run.  She is scheduled to compete in the 10k and 5k.

Meanwhile, Monika Valenzuela earned the "A" standard in the 400-meter run at The Beach Invitational, running 57:48.

Finally, Scott Jeffers competed in the Decathlon at Azusa Pacific last Thursday, and his total of 5,640 points currently puts him in the top-16 in the NAIA.
