SRJC Track and Field traveled to De Anza College in Cupertino for the 2^nd Annual Jim Linthicum Invitational.  The men had an incredible weekend with many personal records and regional qualifying marks.  

Austin Vaccaro started off the competition of Friday afternoon with the Hammer Throw where he finished 3^rdwith a PR of 38.46m (126'2").  In the Pole Vault, Orion Dowdall cleared 4.35m (14'3.25).  This mark places Dowdall 5^th in the State and 1^st in Northern California so far this year.

Early Saturday Morning, Jack Richards, had an amazing personal best and event winning Long Jump of 6.75m (22'1.75"). This mark ranks Richards 2^nd  in Northern California for this year and is a 2 foot PR from his best mark in 2021.  Keeping with the theme of the weekend, Vince Corday would be a double winner in the 400m (49.93) and the 400m Hurdles (55.31). Corday's 400m Hurdle time is the current State leading mark.

At the end of the meet, the Bear Cub Men finished 3^rd overall with a score of 96.5 points, a mere 2.5 points behind 2^nd place San Mateo.
