OFFICIAL CCAA RELEASE

CHICO, Calif. -- Cal Poly Pomona men's track and field senior Ruben Dominguez has been named the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Men's Track Athlete of the Week for the week of Mar. 25-31, it was announced by the conference office Tuesday.

Dominguez shattered the school record in the 5,000 Meter Run on Friday at the Mike Fanelli Track Classic, hosted by San Francisco State at Chabot College in Hayward, running the event in 14:01.15, which bested the previous record of 14:03.96 set by Mark Huizar in 2017 by almost three seconds.  Not only did it shatter the program record, but it also becomes the top time in all of NCAA Division II this spring by eight seconds.  It improves upon the NCAA provisional-qualifying mark Dominguez already reached in the 5,000 Meter event earlier this season.  It also topped his personal record of 14:04.35 that he set at the Brian Clay Invitational in April of 2017.

This is the second CCAA Track Athlete of the Week award for Dominguez this season, and the third of his career.

Cal Poly Pomona will next compete in the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational next Saturday in Claremont.
