Bears Wrap Up Season Opening UW Invitational
SEATTLE --- The California track and field teams wrapped up its first meet of 2017 on Saturday evening as the Golden Bear men and women produced 17 total top 10 finishes on the final day of the University of Washington Indoor Invitational.
Among those quality performances were victories on the men's side for
Paramveer Chohan and
Ashtyn Davis. Chohan claimed the 400 meter title in his first collegiate meet by posting a time of 47.34. The newcomer was also a part of Cal's second place showing in the 4x400 Meter Relay, teaming with
Connor Meech,
Cole Johnson and Eugene III to run a 3:13.98 in the event.
Davis placed first in the preliminaries (7.83) and bested his time to win the finals (7.75). Cal was dominant in all phases of the event, as
Tyler Brendel won the qualifying round before playing fourth in the prelims and fifth in the final with times of 8.23.
The standout performance from the women's team on Saturday came from the foursome of
Ariane Arndt, Jacqueline Chandler,
Jordyn Colter and
Rebecca Croft. The group produced the women's lone Top-5 finish on the day, running the 4x400 Meter Relay in a third-place time of 3:49.99.
Combined with Friday's results, the Bears opened 2017 with 26 Top-10 marks, including seven top-5 performances and four victories.
Cal will return to action - and to Seattle - from February 10-11 to compete in the Husky Indoor Classic.
