Bobcats perform at Occidental Carnival

The Saddleback women's track & field team was in action on Saturday at the Occidental Long Distance Carnival at Occidental College in Los Angeles.  The Bobcats had a number of solid performances.

Saddleback was one of close to 20 teams at Occidental College on Saturday, looking to leave a mark.  The Bobcats finished with seven top-10 scores, including five in the top five.

Saddleback had two first place finishes as Isabelle Teh (pictured left) won the pole vault and Chelsea Kerr (pictured right) won the triple jump.  Teh vaulted 3.35 meters while Kerr set a personal-best with a triple jump of 11.49 meters.

Saddleback was dominant at the triple jump, with three athletes finishing in the top six.  Along with Kerr, Rachel Whitten (pictured third) finished second (10.58) and Marie Poljanycka (9.62 m) was sixth.  Kerr wasn't finished, posting a third place finish in the long jump with a leap of 4.86 meters. 

Another top performance was turned in by Esther Parrish (pictured second), who finished second in the 100 hurdles with a time of 16.54. 

Saddleback had one other top-10 performance with Amanda McFadden finishing eighth in the discus (30.41 m). 

Saddleback will be back in action at the OCC Classic next Friday in Costa Mesa.
