WALNUT, Calif. - Michael Woodham and the Cal State Northridge women's relay teams highlighted the Matadors' performance at the Mt. SAC Relays.

Woodham shattered his previous best in his signature event, the 110 meter hurdles as he ran a blistering 14.19 to finish third in a solid field. Woodham, who's previous best was 14.40, now owns the top time in the Big West this season.

The 4x400 team of Lofton, Watkins, Gonder and Jackie Harrison competed in the Elite race and finished fourth in a season-best time of 3:37.51 which is just .09 off the Cal State Northridge school record.

Also at Mt. SAC, Harrison finished 10th in the 400 meters in a time of 54.69, Alisa Jenkins was 36th in the 100 meter hurdles in 14.57. Lofton finished in the top-10 in the 100 meters, taking seventh in a time of 11.92 while Watkins was 20th in 12.08 and Brooks was 30th in 12.21.
