The Vaqueros got three second-place finishes – Said-Kamal Webster in the 400 (season-best 50.11), Alex Ramirez in the 1500 (season-best 4:06.40) and Evan Askar in the 3000 (season-best 9:16.43). Jose Tarula was fourth in the 3000 in 9:24.52.
The Vaqueros recorded an impressive 32 season bests on the day.
Skylar Payovich had a season-long throw of 42.61 meters while taking fourth in the hammer. That's the eighth-best mark in school history.
"It was good to get a full squad out competing hard and showing what they can do," said coach Scott Fickerson. "It showed with many good results. I enjoyed watching the team perform today."
The Vaqueros return to action in the Westmont Collegiate Classic on Saturday, March 25 at 11 a.m.
