CHAMPIONSHIP CENTRAL  |  OFFICIAL RESULTS

SAN FRANCISCO – For the first time since 1998, the Cal Poly Pomona women's track and field team are CCAA champions! With 223 points, the Broncos earned the team title for just the third time in the program's 41-year history.
 
CPP scored 223 points and earned the title convincingly, defeating runner-up Chico State (167 points) by 56 points. Cal State San Marcos took home third place with 85 points, followed by Cal State LA (69), Cal State San Bernardino (61), Stanislaus State (57), San Francisco State (46), Cal Poly Humboldt (45), Cal State Monterey Bay (32), Sonoma State (17), Cal State East Bay (15) and Cal State Dominguez Hills (1).
 
Following the meet, CPP head coach Chris Bradford was named the CCAA Coach of the Year, Ayana Fields was given the CCAA High Point Award and the Track Athlete of the Meet after scoring 30 points, including three individual titles and two relay titles, and Ana Tovi was selected as the Field Athlete of the Meet, thanks to two individual titles.
 
Another prestigious award handed out to the Broncos was the CCAA's Elite 13 Award, honoring Analexis Glaude for her incredible academic and athletic achievement. Glaude, a senior Psychology major at CPP, sports a 3.979 grade point average.  Formerly the CCAA Championship Scholar Award, the CCAA Elite 13 Award recognizes the academic and athletic achievement of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the conference championship level in his or her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or her peers. Instituted in 2017-18, the award is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the final CCAA championship site in each conference-sponsored sport.
 
In all, the Broncos earned seven individual titles, the most for CPP in a conference meet since 1998 – Ana Tovi (Shot Put, Discus), Ayana Fields (100m, 200m, 400m) and the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams.
 
Also, the Broncos earned 27 All-CCAA awards for finishing in the Top 3 of individual events and relays.
