SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A school record, six event victories and 26 top five finishes headlined a strong day of performances by the Sacramento State track and field team at the Hornet Invitational on Saturday.

The large meet featured athletes from 23 schools as well as several unattached and club entries. Rain was predicted throughout the day but after a wet start to the steeplechase in the morning, the storm held off until the final event of the day.

The Hornet scored 124.5 points to finish first in the team standings. UC Davis was second with 103 and was followed by Fresno Pacific (64.5), Weber State (59) and Southern Oregon (39) in the top five.

Fresno State claimed the women's titles with 131 points. Fresno Pacific (86), UC Davis (74), Nevada (79) and Sacramento State (62) completed the top five.

Sacramento State will next compete at the ASU Invite on Friday and Saturday in Tempe, Ariz.
