KNIGHT QUALIFIES FOR NATIONALS
Senior thrower Trey Knight will represent CSUN at the 2025 NCAA Indoor Championships next week in Virginia Beach, Va. Knight will compete in the weight throw on Friday, March 14 at 3:05 PT. During the 2025 indoor season, Knight broke his own school record in the weight throw, charting a toss of 24.87m (81-7.25) at the Nevada Invitational. His toss was ranked first nearly the entire season until being bested last weekend by Daniel Reynolds of Wyoming.

He was also named to the prestigious Bowerman Award watch list on Feb. 6.
