One month into the 2023 season, Alexis Hinojosa has served as a model of consistency for the Chico State women’s track & field team. The Lincoln product has not only posted a new personal best in her primary event, the 100-meter hurdles, but she has also produced solid results competing for the first time as a Wildcat in the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash, and the long jump. Hinojosa’s latest achievement—an impressive second place finish in the 100-meter hurdles at the Mark Conover Classic in San Luis Obispo—makes her the latest Wildcat of the Week.
Â
Hinojosa crossed the finish line at Cal Poly’s Miller and Capriotti Athletics Complex with a time of 15.04 seconds, continuing a string of consistent performances that has seen her five 100-meter hurdle times this season all fall within a half-second of each other.
Â
Hinojosa kicked off the 2023 campaign with a bang, notching a personal best 100-meter hurdle time of 14.82 seconds March 4 at the Kim Duyst Invitational in Turlock. She has also displayed her notable versatility by placing second in the long jump (4.92 meters) at the March 11 Wildcat Invitational, and registering a top 10 showing in the 100-meter dash (13.21 seconds) March 18 at the Wildcat CUP Invitational.Â

Hinojosa will be back in action this weekend in the Bay Area, competing Saturday in the 100-meter hurdles at the Mike Fanelli Track Classic in San Francisco.
