Quotes from the Coaching Staff

CSUEB head coach Tony Nicolosi following Fridays's action: 

"It was one of the most successful day ones we have had since we moved to the CCAA. Chase and Aidan ran marvelously to advance in the 1500, I like their chances for great days tomorrow."

"Luke Calubayan and John Bradshaw capped off their careers with great runs. Luke moved up the all time 10k list and finished on a tremendous note."

"[Miles Worthen], [Dylan Shubert], [Sebastian Garcia], and [Melissa Sosa] all gained incredibly valuable championship experience. I know our group is in a great position tomorrow."

Nicolosi had more to add after Saturday's final day of the meet:

"Aidan Singh ran incredible. He's got an amazing future ahead of him."

Cal State East Bay will likely compete in a meet next weekend or the weekend to follow, as a 'Last Chance Meet' which is an opportunity for student-athletes improve their times to meet qualification minimums for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in late May. The location and date(s) of the meet are to be determined.
