The outdoor record book
Taking a look at the outdoor records and where members of the current Bulldogs stand in the program's all-time Top 10, four current members look to better their Top 10 marks.
Â
Liz Tarczy has the program's No. 2 high jump at six-feet, set last season. Tarczy eyes the program record that hasn't been touched since 1987. In the long jump, Janae Heffernan sits at No. 5 with a mark of 6.18m/20-3.5 also set a season ago. Ella Spaulding has the No. 2 score in the heptathlon with 5,551 points at the MW Championships last season.
Â
Talk of the town
Last season, Cierra Jackson became the program's first outdoor national champion as she earned the title in the discus. Jackson broke the NCAA meet record and the Mountain West record with a personal-best mark of 65.82m/215-11 on her first attempt at the championship.
Â
Team finish
The Bulldogs' women team finished T24th at the NCAA Championships last season with 11 points. It was the team's most points at the Championships since 1985, and its highest team finish since1988.
Â
King of the jumps
Fresno State junior Jabari King enters his third season as a Bulldog. He won the long jump at the 2024 Sunbird Invitational as a freshman. It was his first career meet. King is chasing his personal-best mark that he set in that 2024 season with a jump of 7.48m/24-6.5 at the Mountain West Championships. That season, he placed fourth at the championships.
Â
This week in program history
