LOS ANGELES — Trent Warren set a school record in the 3000m and Frederik Jahr won in dramatic fashion to cap off a successful Saturday for the Cal State San Marcos women's and men's track & field teams at the Cal State L.A. Invitational.

On the day, 15 Cougars posted qualifying marks for the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) track & field championships. There are now 18 student-athletes who have registered qualifying marks.

Warren won the 3000m with a time of 8:19.87, besting the previous school record by 6.47 seconds (Campfield, 2010). It is the second straight meet in which Warren has been part of a record-setting day, having run the anchor leg of the DMR at last week's Rossi Relays.

Jahr took top honors in the high jump with a leap of 1.95m. The mark tied with two others for first, but Jahr won a jumpoff with a clearance of over 2.0m.

Justin Washington (1:55.57) and Fereon Meferia (1:56.22) finished second and third, respectively, in the 800m to qualify for CCAA championships.

In the women's 800m, Charlotte Kuzminsky finished third with a qualifying time of 2:19.75.

Jasmine Williams finished 10th in the long jump with a mark of 4.93m. It is the second event Williams has qualified in having already reached the standard in the 100-meter hurdles.

Natalie Rodriguez qualified for CCAA championships in the 1500m, placing 10th with a time of 4:47.60. Tina Girolamo just missed the qualifying mark of 4:55, finishing in 20th with a time of 4:55.35.

Michelle Fekete qualified in the triple jump, finishing ninth with a mark of 10.81m.

Rachel Brady placed fifth in the 3000m with a PR of 10:32.12.

The women's 4x400m relay of Jasmine Williams, Kuzminsky, Wyckoff and Rodriguez finished second with a time of 4:06.73.

On the men's side, Kyle Johnson finished fourth in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 14.98, a new personal best. Bryce Johnson placed eighth and also ran a new personal best of 15.70 in the event, improving upon the qualifying time a registered at last week's Rossi Relays.

In the 1500m, three Cougars, Alex Gronotte (4:05.91),Caesar Castillo (4:07.29) and freshman Steven Terris (4:09.10), posted CCAA championship qualifying times.  The trio of Alex Gronotte (4:11.28), Joe Gonzalez (4:11.72) and Issac Vallejo (4:11.82) finished just shy of the 4:10 qualifying mark.

Joshrey Estelle improved upon his previous long jump qualifying mark, leaping a personal best 6.47m and finishing 10th overall.
