RENO, Nevada - At the Battle Born Classic hosted by the University of Nevada, Reno, the Cal Poly Pomona women's indoor track and field team delivered record-breaking performances in its final meet before the NCAA Division II Selection Release.
The Broncos captured three new school records and added four NCAA DII provisional qualifying marks in a historic meet.
Neshara Smith highlighted the weekend in the long jump, soaring to a record-breaking 6.10m. Her mark not only reset the program standard but also secured an NCAA DII provisional qualifying mark, where she currently ranks eighth in the nation.
On the track, Arissa Hatcher broke her own school record in the 800 meters, clocking a time of 2:10.73 in a commanding performance.
The Distance Medley Relay team of
Alondra Arias,
Jessica James,
Arissa Hatcher, and
Vivian Martinez also made history, combining for a school-record time of 11:50.47 while further strengthening their NCAA DII provisional standing.
With momentum on their side and records falling, the Broncos now turn their attention to the NCAA Division II Selection Release set for March 3.
