Anikia Jackson, shown throwing the javelin at a recent meet at Memorial Stadium, became BC’s first heptathlon state champ Saturday at Cerritos College.
Jackson, who trailed first-day leader Aysha Moultrie by 14 points after Friday’s action, took the lead when she had the top javelin mark among the 12-person field, at 110 feet, 4 inches. The javelin is Jackson’s best event and is the next-to-last event in the heptathlon.
Also Saturday, Jackson had the fifth-best long jump (a 17-0, just off her personal best) and was seventh in the 800 meters (2:38.96).
Moultrie, of West Los Angeles College, finished with 4,401 points.
Jackson also placed seventh in the only event she entered in the regular portion of the meet, the 100 hurdles (14.83).
Jackson was second in last year’s state meet heptathlon.
BC had two other athletes competing Saturday. Freshman pole vaulter Holly Moseley tied for seventh (9-6). Sophomore Shalisa Harris was fourth in the long jump (18-13/4) and ninth in the triple jump (34-91/2)
BC placed 15th in the women’s team standings. Cerritos College won and West L.A. was second.
Riverside rolled to the men’s team title with 112 points. Sacramento was second with 67.
“We’re just happy everyone goes home with a medal,” BC coach Pam Kelley said, noting that medals go to top-eight finishers in each event.

Sophomore sprinter Sheena Cooper set a new PR in the 60 meter dash Friday.
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – A return to the J.L. Walkup Skydome resulted in a second consecutive outing of impressive performances for the CSUB men’s and women’s indoor track & field teams, this time competing in the Northern Arizona University Friday Night Challenge.
“We had some good performances, a number of PR’s and are continuing to get better,” said CSUB Head Coach Alan Collatz. “I’m encouraged with our results once again.”
On the women’s side, it was sophomore sprinter Sheena Cooper leading the way with a 7.76 result in the 60 meter dash. The time was another personal best for Cooper who finished the same race, in the same facility, in a time of 7.88 just one week ago. The Bakersfield native also competed in the 200 meter dash, placing 13th in a time of 26.53.
Sophomore Connie King improved her time in the 400 meter dash, racing to a 1:01.47, 11th place finish, while senior Felicia Jasso trimmed nearly 10 seconds off last week’s time in the 3000 meter run.
Senior Grace McClellan placed second in the high jump with a leap of 5-03.75 while fellow senior Peace Nwosu tied for fourth with a jump of 5-01.75. Freshman Brianna Woodfox improved her long jump distance by more than three inches, placing third with a mark of 16-11.25 and sophomore Katina Fruguglietti earned a sixth place mark of 47-01.00 in the weight throw.
In the men’s side it was once again the jumpers and throwers garnering the best success. Freshman David Charleston won the triple jump event with a leap of 46-08.25. He also placed third in the high jump (6-01.50) right behind teammate Alex Haver who turned in a second place mark of 6-03.50.
Ryan Nichols, making his collegiate debut, placed second in the long jump with a mark of 21-00.75.
“This was Ryan’s first meet and he got off to a good start for the season,” said Collatz. “And David improved his mark in the triple jump.”
Also setting another personal record was junior Steve Trojanowski in the weight throw. His third place hurl of 58-00.25 was more than two feet beyond his previous personal best throw from just one week ago. Trojanowski also placed sixth in the shot put (44-08.00), while teammate Brian Lopez took third in the event with a mark of 51-10.00.
The Roadrunners make their final return to the J.L. Walkup Skydome next Saturday for the Mountain T’s Invitational before making their home debut on Feb. 9, playing host to the Lee Adams Invitational.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The CSUB men’s and women’s indoor track & field teams opened the 2008 season with solid performances in numerous events at the Lumberjack Invitational Saturday, giving Head Coach Alan Collatz plenty to look forward to with his young squad.
“Overall we did excellent competing at 7000 feet and with many of our athletes competing for the first time at a college meet,” said Collatz. “The first meet sets the stage for the season and gives us an idea of where we are and what improvements we need to make to move forward.”
On the men’s side, the Roadrunner throwers had a strong first meet, setting a number of personal best marks. Junior Steve Trojanowski placed fourth in the weight throw, hurling the 35-pound weight a distance of 55-08.50. Senior Brian Lopez’s mark of 52-00.50 was good for sixth place while Clayton Morovich and Evan Wahl both topped 51 feet to finish eighth and ninth, respectively.
Former ‘Runner standout Arnaldo Cueto won the weight throw event with a mark of 73.03.25 while another CSUB alum, Chris Figures, placed second in the shot put with a top throw of 62.03.75.
Freshman David Charleston turned in a third place, 46-03.25 mark in the triple jump while also placing sixth in the high jump (6-04.00).

On the women’s side, sophomore Sheena Cooper turned in a personal best of 7.88 in the preliminaries of the 60 meter dash. The time earned the Bakersfield native a spot in the finals, but she took a false start and was unable to complete the race. Fellow sophomore Connie King placed 11th in the 400 meter dash (1:01.83) while sophomore Bethany Lopez and senior Valerie Taylor came in fifth and sixth in the 800 meter run.
