FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Cal State Bakersfield continued its 2007 indoor track and field season with another meet at Northern Arizona University at the Mountain T's Invitational on Saturday.
The throwers had another quality meet but they were joined with some strong performances on the track as well. Former Roadrunner Arnaldo Cueto turned in the top performance of the day with a first-place throw in the 35-pound weight competition at 68-5 ¼, which is less than he threw earlier this season but still plenty to win the event.
Current Bakersfield thrower Nick Umholtz was second in the event at 63-2, while Leo Chavez was sixth at 57-11 and Ian Banez was eighth at 53-3.
Another former Roadrunner also turned in a top-notch performance when Chris Figures placed fourth in the shot put at 61-8 ½.
In other Roadrunner action, Sheena Cooper had a big performance in the 200 meters by placing third in her heat in 26.56. Other Bakersfield women top performers were Jodi Calderon in the mile with a third-place finish in 6:00.11. Felicia Jasso was fourth in the same event in 6:07.51.
Ryan Lucker highlighted other men's performances with a third-place finish in the mile in 4:56.59.
The Roadrunners will compete in their only home meet of the season next Saturday when they host the Lee Adams Invitational at 9 a.m.
