The PCC Track and Field team placed in the top three in several events at the California Relays at Cerritos College in Norwalk, on Friday. Lancers finished in the top three in three of the events.

            In the women’s 400m dash, men’s 400m dash, men’s 4 x 100m relay, men’s long jump, and men’s javelin throw.

            Freshman, Malik Gillins placed third in the men’s long jump.           

In the men’s javelin throw freshman Caleb Wood placed third overall.

            The men’s 4×100 meter relay placed fourth overall.

            For the women, Jakae Bridges placed second in the women’s 400m Dash.

“This is the second largest meet on the west coast,” said Larry Wade, head coach.

             Freshman Marco Mendoza, shot put and discus, went into the event a little bit nervous.

            “[Being] a little nervous in a way shows you care, but you can’t be too nervous,” said Mendoza.

             Coach Wade said this meet was like a practice to prepare his team for the bigger competitions.

            “These meets are like quizzes to see where our weaknesses are so when the major conferences come we are prepared for them,” said Wade.

             “After this weekend I expect us to get better and better at what we do.”
