WALNUT – California track & field saved its best performances for its third and final day of competition at the Mt. SAC Relays, re-setting the program record books once again with three new all-time No. 1s and a trio of additional top-10s.
 
Junior David Foster, already one of the NCAA's top sprinters, lowered his wind-legal 100m PR to 10.16 in the men's elite section and toppled the 34-year-old Golden Bear record set by Atlee Mahorn in 1990; that time tied him for the ninth-fastest wind-legal time in Division I this season.
 
Later, senior Amari Turner bettered her own program record with a second-place leap of 4.40m (14-5.25) in the women's pole vault elite competition, improving her old personal best by two inches; meanwhile, classmate Rowan Hamilton was posting a PR of his own in the hammer cage, launching an NCAA-leading throw of 77.16m (253-1) to improve his own Cal record by nearly seven feet and take first place in the men's elite hammer contest. With that mark, Hamilton is now the eighth-ranked men's hammer thrower in collegiate history.
 
In the women's elite discus section, junior Caisa-Marie Lindfors added another win to her season with a mark of 60.15m (197-4), while senior teammate Jasmine Blair added two inches to her program No. 2 entry by throwing the platter 58.59m (192-2). Rounding out the women's elite field events was high jumper Toby Lai, who cleared the bar at 1.82m (5-11.5) for the fourth-best mark in program history and Cal's highest in 13 years. Over on the track, a pair of seniors – Jada Hicks and Jazlynn Shearer – competed in the elite 100m hurdles; Hicks finished the race in 13.27, while Shearer improved her wind-legal best to 13.36, fourth-fastest on Cal's all-time list.
 
Other top finishers for the Bears included junior Aysha Shaheed (11.41) in the women's 100m elite, senior Michael Gupta (62.68m/205-7) in the men's collegiate hammer and redshirt freshman Nick Godbehere (18.28m/59-11.75) in the men's shot put elite.
