The women's 4x100 relay team of
Brittany Johnson (Marina, Calif., Monte Vista Christian HS),
Alicia Chambers (Roseville, Calif., Oakmont HS) Tyler Dalbey (Petaluma, Calif., Santa Rosa JC), and
Carrie Thomas (Fremont, Calif.)finished in fifth place with a time of 48.31, one second behind UC Davis for fourth.
Brittany Garrett (Pellham, Ala.)'s seventh place time of 18:30.22 places her 8
th on the Gators' all-time career list in the 5000 meter run.
"Both Felicia (Terwilliger) and Meagen (Moiola) continue to perform well every week," said SF State Head Track & Field Coach Terry Burke. "Felicia has fought muscle spasms in her back all week and it was a courageous effort by her today," "I am particularly please with the improvement that we made in the 400 meter relay," added Burke. "This was the first time that these four have run as an unit and this mark places them 9th on the all-time list." They will certainly improve on this time, especially when you take into account that the team is composed of three freshmen and a sophomore."
SF State will return to the track a week from today, when the Gators participate in the Hornet Invitational on the campus of Sacramento State University in Sacramento, California.
