RIVERSIDE, Calif.—The CSUN men's and women's track and field teams recorded eight victories at the Chris Rinne Twilight Friday night at the UC Riverside Track Stadium.
ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JUSTIN JOHNSON
"We had a strong showing today. We had a plethora of personal records set from all event areas. In addition, we won several individual events. Overall, I like the direction our team is heading in. However, we need to stay hungry and focused over the next few weeks to make an impact at the Big West championships. Our preparation for the next competition starts tonight with some rest and recovery."
