Track & Field Posts Season Bests At Highlander Challenge

Riverside—With the Big West Conference Track & Field Championships just a few weeks away, the Highlanders hosted Cal Poly Pomona and Cal State Los Angeles, along with a handful of unattached athletes in a single-day meet Saturday.

Zach Lewis posted his top mark of the season in the 400m Hurdles with a time of 52.29. That was .22 seconds off his all-time best mark of 52.07 set in 2015.

Silviu Bocancea continued his dominance of the Hammer Throw this year, winning the event with a top mark of 62.28m (205' 8"). He also finished second in the discus (49.20m, 161' 5"), and seventh in the Shot Put clearing (13.21m, 43' 4.25").

On the Women's Side, Tayler Fleming won both the Long Jump (6.27m, 20' 7.00") and High Jump (1.60m, 5' 3.00"). Her Long Jump mark was just 4.75 inches off her UC Riverside record of 20' 11.75".

Taylor Brown won the 400m finishing in 56.61, which is her best mark of the year, and she ran the lead leg of the Highlanders' 4x400m Relay Team, which won the event with a time of 3:57.56.
