Bobcats set new PB’s at Occidental

The Saddleback men's track & field team was in action this past weekend at the Occidental Distance Carnival at Occidental College.  A handful of Bobcats had personal-best times and scores at the meet.

Daniel May has been a leader throughout the spring so far and again had another stellar performance on Saturday.  May had a personal-best toss in the discus throw (41.35m) while finishing first in the event.  It was the 13^th longest throw in the state this season.  He then went out and finished second in the javelin with his best throw of the season with a fling of 55.77-meters.  It was the second best throw in the state this season and just shy of his personal-best (57.34m). 

Two other Bobcats finished fourth at the meet in their respective events with Caden Delgado and Ryan Horner having personal-best performances.  Delgado had a personal-best in the pole vault with a vault of 4.20-meters, which was good enough for fourth place at the event and the 15^th highest vault of the season so far in the state.  Horner finished fourth in the triple jump with a leap of 12.87-meters, which was the 21^st longest leap of the year in the state. 

Sean McEwen also had a personal-best in finishing ninth in the 400 meters.  McEwen crossed the finish line in 50.58 seconds, which was the 33^rd fastest time in the state this season.

One other top-10 performance was turned in by Micah Crosby, who was seventh in the pole vault with a vault of 4.05-meters.

Saddleback will be back in action this Friday and Saturday at the Cal State Los Angeles Meet.
