RIVERSIDE, Calif. – California Baptist University swept through the competition in the 3,000 meter competition at the Riverside City College Invite this weekend.
The Lancers claimed the top six spots, taking 33 of the 34 points available in the 3,000 meter. Simon Bedard and Timothy Legemet took first and second, respectively, in a tight race for first. Bedard crossed the line first at eight minutes, 25.32 seconds with Legemet crossing just .15 of a second later. Both Bedard and Legemet set personal records on Friday.
Zlatko Kozuhar (8:37.21) and Dennis Messmer (8:39.43) took third and fourth, respectively. McMarshall Hartzenburg (8:42.85) and Hector Peralta (8:43.22, personal best) rounded out the top six runners for CBU and for the competition.
"This should set us up well for the Oxy Distance Carnival this upcoming weekend," said Coach Adam Tribble, whose team is next in action at the Occidental Invitational March 9.
In the 1,500 meter, Mike Alukunyang had a strong performance in which he held second place through the first 1,100 meters. Alukunyang slipped to fourth following strong kicks by Shea Vavra (Cal State San Marcos) and Enrique Villa (RCC) in the final 400 meters.
