Chris Serrao placed third in the 60-meter to highlight a team performance at the indoor meet which featured nine total podium finishes.
"We had some standout performances and great efforts," said Bobby Farrell, director of track and field & cross country. "We missed a few opportunities, but we'll learn from them as we get ready for outdoor."

He was followed by Daniel Arana, who secured his first career podium at the conference meet, placing sixth overall with a leap of 51' 0.25" (15.55m).
