Cal Women End Competition With Six Points

By: Cal Athletics

AUSTIN, TEXAS – California track & field closed out competition at the NCAA Outdoor Championships on Saturday night to bring its record-setting season to a close, ending the year with a total of three First Team All-Americans and four Second Team All-Americans – the most combined by the Golden Bears since 2009.

Senior Asha Fletcher was Cal's only competitor of the night, taking 18th place in the triple jump with a best leap of 13.06m (42-10.25). She ends her career with the Bears as the No. 4 triple jumper and No. 6 long jumper on Cal's outdoor all-time lists, in addition to the program's No. 4 indoor triple jump mark.

Texas took home the women's team title with 83 points, followed by Florida (51 points) and Arkansas (46 points). Cal ended the competition in a tie for 37th place with six total points from senior Anna Purchase's third-place finish in Thursday's hammer throw.
