On Thursday, the Matadors will enter the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate.

Â
Two CSUN track and field competitors earned Big West Conference honors Apr. 17. Freshman De'Andreah Young ran the fifth fastest 400m hurdles time in school history en route to her second Big West Women's Track Athlete of the Week award this season. Young finished the race in 59.28 seconds to place second in the event at the Triton Invitational. It marked the second time this season Young ran a sub-60 second time in the race. Her 58.15 at the Stanford Invitational on March 30 is the 15th fastest time in Division I this season. Young also ran the 400 meters for the first time this season and turned in a fourth-place showing in La Jolla, clocking 55.53 to rank No. 8 on the Big West best marks list.
Â
Earning his second Big West Men's Field Athlete of the Week nod this season, is junior Erick Loomis. Loomis reset his own school record in the hammer throw to highlight action at the Triton Invitational. Loomis, who initially broke the mark on Mar. 24 with a throw of 211-4 at the Northridge Invitational, surpassed that distance by more than 12 feet. His clearance of 223-11 represents the 15th best performance in Division I this season and earned him a second-place finish at the meet. Loomis ranks No. 3 in the West Region with that measurement, trailing only Gleb Dudarev of Kansas (243-11) and Washington State's Brock Eager (228-03).
