FULLERTON, Calif. – The Cal State Fullerton track and field travels to the campus of UC Davis this Friday and Saturday in search of the program's first ever track and field conference championship on either the men or women's side.

All the action will get under way Friday, beginning with the men's hammer throw at 9 a.m. JaQuan Scott, Emmanuel Martinez, and Steven Parsons will represent the Titans, as Martinez currently ranks ninth in the conference in the event, while Parsons has the 11th best mark and Scott ranks 20th. The track events will begin with the women's 1,500-meter run final on Friday at 3:30 p.m. Junior Ana Valdovinos will represent the Titans in that event, as she ranks 23rd  in the league.

Championship Saturday will begin with the field events once again; as the day will start with the men's javelin throw at noon. Chris Vega, Phillip Wogee, and Alexander Ostrowksi will represent the Fullerton squad in this event. Last weekend, Ostrowksi finished fourth in the decathlon overall and recorded a throw of 155-00 to finish sixth in the javelin.

The excitement continues with the women's 4x100 meter relay at approximately 2:08 p.m., marking the first track event of the afternoon. The Titan women will be well represented here, as Alexandria Stewart, Ashley Sims, Katie Wilson, and Janaya Shorty represents a Fullerton squad.

The team championship presentations will then take place immediately following the final race.

Titan Women in the Big West Championships

Fullerton hopes this is the year it makes its resurgence to the top of the Big West Conference, as the Titan women haven't secured a top-four finish since the 2010 season, as Fullerton finished ninth in 2013, sixth in the 2012 and eighth in 2011. However, from 2006-10, the Titans never finished any lower than fifth place…Cal State Fullerton's best placing all-time came in 2006 where the Titans finished fourth and recorded a school record 107 points. Cal State Northridge was also the host school that season….Fullerton has placed fourth on three separate occasions (2006, 2009, 2010).
