Quotes
Jason Drake, Fresno State Director of Track and Field and Cross Country
On the men's team…
"The men were great today with five of them setting new PRs. Both Matt and Jaunathan moved up in our top 15 was the highlight of the day. It's great to see the massive improvement with this team since our last visit here in 2019."
On the women's team…
"The women were much better today than two weeks ago. Most of our lineup is freshmen and they just need more experience and training. It was great to see them rebounding after the meet in Sacramento."
Next Up
The Bulldogs will be off until Oct. 29 when they head to the Mountain West Championships in Albuquerque, N.M.
