ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JUSTIN JOHNSON
"Saturday was a solid meet for us. The team was energized and ready to perform. The men's 4x1 started with a season-best performance, which excited the team. Next, we saw great performances in the hurdle, high jump, discus, shot put, and triple jump. Coupled with last night's performance from the distance squad, I would say we had a good weekend."
UP NEXT
CSUN travels to the West Coast Relays next week. Field events at Fresno State are set for Thursday, with the running events coming on Friday from Veteran's Stadium in Clovis, Calif. FloTrack will be streaming the event.
