SAN MARCOS – The Chico State men's track & field team saw a handful of podium appearances, seven new personal bests and a NCAA provisional mark on the final day of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Championships Saturday.
After completing 21 events, the Wildcats collected 206.50 team points but it wasn't enough as they finished behind eventual meet winner Cal Poly Pomona, which scored 311 points. Host Cal State San Marcos scored 99.50 points to take third.
Vincent Rinaldi took second in the 200-meter dash final, but his new personal record time of 20.98 gave him an NCAA provisional mark and the new Chico State record, besting Bobby Reese's 21.07 mark set nearly 30 years ago.
Chico State swept the 5,000-meter podium. Jack Emanuel won the event with a time of 14:31.41 and was followed behind by David Hernandez (14:43.91) and Joshua O'Neill (14:46.52).
In the javelin throw, Alex Robie (52.99 meters) and Zack Nelson (51.05 meters) earned new personal bests to take second and third.
The 4x100-meter relay saw the team of Colton Cummings, Demetre Coffey, Bryan Payne and Rinaldi take third with a combined time of 41.26 seconds.
Parker Williams made the podium in the 110-meter hurdles, dashing his way with a time of 14.61. Thomson also took third in the 400-meter dash.
The final event was the 4x400-meter relay, which saw Calvin Igbanoi, Coffey, Rinaldi and Thomson cross the finish line at 3:14.45, good enough for a third-place finish.
The Wildcats will get one last chance to make their case in competing in the NCAA Championships at the end of the month by returning to Azusa Pacific for the Cougars' Last Chance meet Friday-Saturday.
