SAN DIEGO — Elizabeth Prevedello set a school record at the UC Riverside Spring Track Classic and the University of La Verne track and field teams posted several top DIII marks at the Point Loma Invitational.
From the Coach
"Another good weekend for Leopard track and field," said head track and field coach Kevin Reid. "Coach Wood and I were looking to build off of last week's success, and we felt like we continued to perform at a high level with 30 plus seasonal and personal bests and a number of high ranking NCAA performances.
"Our goals this week included themes of consistency and competing at a high level. As we push into the heart of the season, home meet this week, the Pomona Invitational, SCIAC No. 3, Mt. SAC, and our conference championships, we are excited about where we are at and what we are doing."
