The CSU Stanislaus track and field team had a slight turn of bad luck after a great day at Sacramento State University’s Hornet Stadium.

During the successful day, two of the Warriors picked up provisionals. In the pole vault was freshman, Chance Hagar and the 800 meter run was sophomore, Abraham Alvarado.

Hagar cleared one foot over his own season best to take the NCAA Provisional mark in clearing 15 feet 9 inches. That steered him into 8th place in all of Division II pole vaulting. As he was gaining speed to take 16 feet, 2 3/4 inches, Gravity took hold of Hagar slamming him down between the mat and the standard. In doing so, Hagar twisted his ankle and broke the strongest bone in the human body, the femur. He immediately was taken to the UC Davis Medical Center where he was taken into surgery. If Hagar would have cleared the bar he would have been in a great position to attend the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championship held in May. Overall, Hagar finished 5th on Saturday.

Alvarado marked a provisional in the 800 meter run with a time of 1:51.14 and finished second. His teammate, Ian Brooks came in ninth place and was unable to make provisionals. Aman Hundal placed sixth in the women’s race and missed provisionals by a few hundredths of a second with the time of 2:13.80.

Gary Randolph is at it again setting his provisional to 171 feet, 2 inches in the discus. Even though he came in fifth place, he was competing against Division I throwers. For the women, Krystal Alnas was fifth best on Saturday, reaching 169 feet 6 inches in the hammer throw.
