UCSB Wins Meet, CSF Breaks Old Relay Record Feb. 22, 2003 – Fullerton, Calif.
UC Santa Barbara won both the men's and women's competition but the highlight
of Saturday's five-team track meet was the Cal State Fullerton women's
4x400 relay team breaking a 16-year-old school record.
Host Fullerton placed second behind UCSB in both men's and women's scoring.
UC Riverside was third in the women and fourth in the men. Cal State L.A.
was fourth in the women and fifth in the men while Cal State Bakersfield
was third in the men and fifth in the women's events.
Destany Cearley, Kandace Wilson, Lakeysha McClenton
and Orenda Talton combined for a relay time of 3:48.52 to win the race
and break the Fullerton school record of 3:49.36 set in 1987.
In the men's pole vault, Fullerton's Giovanni Lanaro easily won the competition
with a jump of 17 feet, 4 1/2 inches. He missed three attempts to clear
18 feet, one half inch, which would have been the highest outdoor mark
among collegians this season.
