Valentic Places Third in CSUB Debut

FRESNO, Calif. – Kicking off the 2022 cross country season, Helena Valentic paced Cal State Bakersfield and finished third overall at the Seawolf Invitational on Saturday. The junior transfer's Roadrunner debut featured a 5k time of 18:59.63, just one second outside of CSUB's Top 10 performance list.

Quotes from Director of Cross Country and Track & Field Marcia Mansur-Wentworth

"Helena did a great job. If she had known the course her time would have been a little better, but she did a great job on a challenging course that she had no familiarity with, so we were very pleased with that effort."
"Ysabel and Alicia also ran very very well today."
