(Los Angeles, CA) The Mt. SAC Men's and Women's Track and Field Team had another very strong showing at the 2016 Cal State LA Invitational. The large mix of 2-year and 4-year programs challenged the Mounties, however the team was able to produce four individual (overall) titles, two relay titles and four state leading marks.
The Mountie Men dominated the sprints, taking the 100, 200 and 400 meter overall titles at the Jesse Owens Track. Cameron Akins took the 100 meter title in 10.67 seconds* and Trevor Fischer took the 400 meter title in 48.95 seconds. 2015 USA Junior Finalist, Cravon Gillespie avenged his earlier false start in the 100 meters, breaking his personal best in the 200 meters in a blazing time of 20.95 seconds*.
Sophomore Anthony Applequist demolished the men's triple jump field by over 2 feet, jumping 51'05" (15.67M)*, which shattered his previous personal best of 49'10" (15.20), and was more than two feet further than the rest of the field.
The Mountie Women captured both the 4X100M and 4X400M Relay overall titles. In the 4X100M, the team of Rahmah Baaree, Kyra White, Khadija Imara and Victoria Sandoval, ran a season best of 47.41. The 4X400M team of Jaelin Milner, Khadija Imara, Kyra White and Brittany Mitchell ran 3:55.00*, which was nearly 12 seconds faster than the second place overall team.
The Mounties will next travel to Occidental College, this Friday and Saturday (03/11 to 03/12) for the Oxy Distance Carnival/Spring Break Classic.
