(San Mateo, CA) The Mt. SAC Women's Track & Field Team valiantly tried to defend their 2014 California Community College Athletic Association (CCCCAA) State Championship, but in the end the Mounties fell one point short to cross town rival Cerritos College, 67 to 68, to take second.   The 2015 championships, held at the College of San Mateo, on May 15th and 16th, was arguable the closest battle in CCCAA Track and Field History with both state championships being decided in the concluding 4X400M relays and by a mere point.  

It was a true team effort for the Mountie Women who captured both the 4X100M Relay and 4X400M Relay, as well as scoring in 10 individual events.

CERRITOS WOMEN EDGE DEFENDING CHAMP MT. SAC: In the women's relay, Cerritos finished fourth for five points to win the team title with 68 points. Defending team champion Mt. San Antonio, which won the final race in 3 minutes, 49.83 seconds for ten points, tallied 67. Riverside anchor Crystal Tejeda caught the last Cerritos runner, Shukura Tyler, at the end to finish third in the race but it wasn't enough. The Tigers wound-up third in the team scoring with 65 points, followed by College of the Sequoias (54), and Fresno City College (52).
