LOS ANGELES – With provisional qualifiers from a pair of seniors, the Cal Poly Pomona women's track and field team excelled during the two days of competition at the Cal State L.A. Invite.

Tiffany Tate placed first in the javelin, outpacing the second-place finisher by 21 feet. Tate's provisional qualifying mark of 147-8 put her at No. 7 on the Broncos' all-time leaderboard and stands as the program's top distance since 1988.

Tate also starred in the shotput, taking second with a career-best distance of 44-6.75. That moves her up to No. 7 on the CPP leaderboard for that event. Teammate Nina Pritchett placed third in the shotput with a 39-0.25 mark.

Lizette Huerta put together a memorable performance in the 1,500-meter event, crossing the line in 4:28.05 to set a personal best while placing third individually and earning a provisional qualifier. It also represented CPP's top mark since 1986 and moved Huerta up to No. 3 on the Broncos' all-time leaderboard.

Teammate Marissa Nickles wasn't far behind in the 1,500, placing fifth with a time of 4:41.85.

Marcela Desir finished as CPP's top performer in the 100-meter dash, crossing the line in 12.40 to place eighth overall. Danie Foxvog finished fourth in the 800-meter run, registering a mark of 2:21.33.

In Friday's throwing events, Pritchett placed fourth overall in the hammer throw with a distance of 130-8. Also with a fourth-place finish was Deidre Mercado, who cleared a height of 10-11.75 in the pole vault.

The Broncos will return to action Friday with student-athletes competing at a pair of meets: Ben Brown Invite in Fullerton and Oxy Distance Carnival at Occidental College.
