Ruby Davis has already put together a sensational 2016 season for the Chico State women’s track & field team, but the senior looks as if she’s far from reaching her peak. Davis enjoyed her most successful meet to date Saturday at the UC Davis-hosted Woody Wilson Classic, notching a personal best in the long jump and playing a key role in a first place finish in the 4x100-meter relay, with both performances ranking among the 10 best in Chico State history. Her dynamite day makes Davis the latest Wildcat of the Week.
Â
Davis began the Woody Wilson Classic by placing second overall in the long jump with a PR mark of 18-feet-10.5. Not only was it the second-best effort by a California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) athlete so far this year, but Davis also etched her name in the Chico State record books with the ninth-best long jump in Wildcat history.
Â
Saturday afternoon Davis shared the winner’s circle with Marina Berrios, Kayla Lawson and Lyndsey Settle, taking top honors in the 4x100 relay with a time of 47.56 seconds. It stands as the CCAA’s third-fastest 4x100 in 2016 and the fifth-best in Chico State history.
Â
Davis and the rest of the Wildcat women’s track & field team will be in Berkeley Friday and Saturday to compete in the Brutus Hamilton Invitational on the University of California campus.
