WOMEN'S TRACK & FIELD: TWO CHAMPS!

Samantha Duong and Fanny Giron represented Fullerton College very well this past Saturday at the Mt. San Antonio College Relays by becoming champions!

The Mt. SAC Relays is an elite invitational and a tune up for the conference championships.

Fanny Giron approached the starting line, got set, the starter gun went off, and she never looked back. "Fanny had a strong race and truly separated herself from the field in the last 100 meters", said Coach Gina Bevec. Giron crossed the line winning it all in 57.63 seconds.

Following Fanny's enthusiasm, teammate Samantha Duong competed in the 400m Hurdles and gave one of her best efforts as she moved ahead of the pack with two hurdles left to win it all with a finish of 1:03.75 (a personal record).

Both of these ladies are currently ranked second in the state with their individual events.

Jasmine Mendoza ran a strong race in the second heat of the hurdles and finished 9th overall. She gave herself a personal record running 1:07.62.

Andrea Mendez won her heat with confidence in the 1500m with a time of 4:57.07, which is only two seconds off her best time of the season.

Up Next: The Orange Empire Conference Championships at Orange Coast College hosted by Golden West College on April 17 and 24th. Field events will begin at 10:00 am with the track events beginning at 2:00 pm.
