Stephanie Robbins, a freshman from South took second in the shot put and discus. Robbins, who has already qualified for the So Cal championship in the shot put, increased her discus throw from 108-2 to 114-10 on Thursday.
Last Saturday in the 4X1600m relay, the team posted a 22:28.77 time that was good enough to place them third all-time in EC history. The team, consisting of Dinora Moran, Becky Cherry, Evelyn Lopez and Cora Webber, took fourth place at the CSULB Open.
The CSULB Open allowed the athletes to see where they stood against: open division, collegiate and junior college competitors. You get a chance to see what kind of competitors you have on your team.
"We got to see our diversity. The girls in the jumps did well," Hughley said.
The So Cal championships and the state championships are held in Bakerfield so it's important that the women know what to expect with the desert heat.
With the best of the best being in EC's conference, Lofgren knows that the competition will be a challenge. With its first two events behind them, the team will look to match earlier successes. Lofgren hopes the team does well and looks forward to seeing his group compete in Bakersfield in May.
