STANFORD, Calif. – The Cal Poly Pomona men's track and field team competed in Northern California this weekend, participating in both the Mike Fanelli Track Classic hosted at Chabot College and the Stanford Invitational on the campus of Stanford University.
 
Having been ranked the No. 1 team in all of NCAA Division II on Tuesday by the USTFCCCA, the Broncos looked to continue improving in their first road trip of the season. The team now has 15 NCAA provisional qualifying marks this season, including six ranking Top 5 in the country in their respective events.

Justin Cardoza set a personal best in the triple jump with a distance of 15.26 meters, ranking fifth all-time in school history while also ranking fifth in the country this season. This mark was also good for second place in the meet.
 
Ian Strode won the pole vault (collegiate) at the Stanford Invite, finishing first out of 15 athletes with a height of 4.92 meters – which now ranks 14^th in the nation this season. This ties his personal best, which already ranks sixth in school history.
