SAN FRANCISCO - Over a span of three days, the Cal State East Bay women's track team competed in the Mike Fanelli Track Classic, which took place on the campus of San Francisco State University. Below are some highlights and accomplishments by the Pioneers during the meet.
- Claire Fisher was CSUEB's top finisher in the women's 5,000 meters with a time of 17 minutes, 29.42 seconds. Her finish was also a personal best in the event and is the 10th fastest 5,000 meter time in CSUEB history.
- Three other runners or the Pioneers had personal bests in the 5,000 meters including Leza Cassidy (17:40.62). Amanda Navarro (17:45.03) and Kimberly Lima (18:29.87).
- Chase Worthen had a finish in the 10,000 meters of 36:55.4, which was 8th all-time at Cal State East Bay.
- Ashley Trout had her best 800 meter time of 2:26.77.
- The distance medley relay team of Trout, Worthen, Fisher and Navarro placed second in the event.
"The women had a fantastic weekend," said Cal State East Bay head coach
Tony Nicolosi. "Claire's 5K was a historic performance in our program's history. Many women had dramatic time drops for personal or season bests. These results have put us in a position to have a very successful CCAA Championship, and established us as one of the top teams in the west region for cross country next fall."
The Pioneers host their next meet, which takes place on April 8-9, the East Bay Invite, at Chabot College.
