NEW 'DOGS SHOWING OUT
During the first week of December, Fresno State opened the indoor season at the Silver State Invitational and its newest Bulldogs did not disappoint. Three newcomers entered the program's Top 10 list in four different events.
Itzia Mejia Garcia jumped into a tie for third in the 60 meters at 7.53, .06 shy of the program record. The sophomore transfer from Georgia Southern also is fourth in the 200 meters at 24.15.
Colleen Uzoekwe, a senior transfer from Oregon, moved to No. 3 in the 60-meter hurdles at 8.55.
Zoe Yeast, a senior transfer from Louisville, is seventh in the weight throw with a mark of 19.15m/62-10.
ANOTHER 'DOG ENTERS THE TOP 10
At the Spokane Indoor Challenge, Jewel Ash became the fourth newcomer to put her name on the Bulldogs' all-time Top 10 list. The senior transfer from Charleston Southern clocked a time of 8.65 in the 60 meters which ranks sixth-fastest in program history.
PIPION BACK FOR FINAL INDOOR SEASON
Fresno State's indoor record holder in the 200 and 400 meters began her final indoor season last month with two wins and a third-place result at the Silver State Invitational. Individually, the senior won the 400 meters with a time 53.43 on the second day of the event. That day, she also helped her 4x400 relay team to a win, finishing in 3:43.05.
MEDALIST RETURNS IN THE HIGH JUMP
The reigning bronze medalist indoors and Mountain West champion in the high jump, Liz Tarczy began her year with a new indoor-best clearance of 1.78m/5-10. She finished second in the competition on misses.
THE ROAD TO CHAMPIONSHIPS
This week is the first of three straight weekends of competition for the Bulldogs leading up to a break in the schedule before the Mountain West Championships (Feb. 27-March 1). Fresno State will be in Seattle, Wash., and Albuquerque, N.M., twice during the stretch, Spokane, Wash., and Reno, Nev., once.
