OFFICIAL RESULTS

IRVINE, Calif. – In the final tuneup before next weekend's CCAA Track and Field Championships in San Marcos, the 14th-ranked Cal Poly Pomona men's track and field team saw several improvements, including some record book edits and 12 new personal records Friday and Saturday at the Steve Scott Invitational hosted by UC Irvine.
 
Highlighting the weekend was Kailen Smith, who jumped into No. 2 all-time at CPP with a personal-best 2.11m mark in the High Jump on his first attempt at the height on Saturday. It is the 12th-highest mark in Division II this season, and will take it into the CCAA Championships next week as the best mark in the conference.
 
The Broncos will look to defend its 2022 title when the CCAA Championships get underway Thursday through Saturday on the campus of Cal State San Marcos.
 
RECORD BOOK EDITS

• Daniel Echeveste (4:11.10) and Evan Franco (4:13.60) planted themselves in the program's Top 10 Record Book for the Mile; Echeveste is now No. 4 all-time and Franco is No. 8. The last time any Cal Poly Pomona men's track and field student-athlete broke into the program's Top 10 in the Mile was 36 years ago in 1987.

• Dom Navarrette-Perez also topped two career-highs in the Discus (52.25m) and Hammer (51.59m). His Discus throw now leads the CCAA, is ranked No. 17 in Division II this spring and moves into No. 5 all-time at CPP. His Hammer throw is No. 4 in the CCAA in 2023.
