SPARKS, Nev. — Sacramento State started the day with a win by Brock Gross in the heptathlon and finished with six school top 10 marks during the second day of the Wolf Pack Classic and Combined on Friday.
 
Gross entered the final three events in first place and never fell out of the top spot. He ran 8.58 in the 60-hurdles for the third-fastest time in the field.

His total was the best by a Hornet since Max Jette 5,213 in 2018.
 
Blake Gross also cracked the Sacramento State top 10 by totaling 4,959 points to finish sixth in program history and third in the meet. Blake Gross had marks of 8.87 in the 60H, a career-best 13-01.50 in the pole vault and 2:48.99 in the 1000.
