"After a couple days off from competition, it felt like our athletes had their legs back today," said Humboldt State head track and field coach Sarah Ingram.  "We saw lots of improvements in our running times from our sprinters up through our distance runners today. Lots of season or lifetime personal bests. All of our 400m runners dropped their times from earlier in the trip, and a handful of middle- distance runners hit lifetime PR's as well. Freshmen Julian J set a new lifetime best of 2-3 seconds in the 800m."

In the throws, Terrence Allen continues to improve each meet and threw a new personal best in the javelin, while teammate Ben L hit a season best as well.
