Vikings Rack Up Wins and Qualifiers at Cerritos Multi/Open

 

 

The Long Beach City College track and field team continued its strong early-season campaign at the Cerritos Multi/Open on February 27–28 at Cerritos College. The Vikings earned multiple event victories, several state qualifying standards, and numerous top-eight finishes across the two-day meet.

 

 

LBCC athletes captured three event titles during the competition. Jaden Akens led the way in the throws with victories in both the shot put and discus, highlighting a dominant performance in the throwing events. On the track, Fudail 'King' Burns won the 400-meter hurdles, showing strong hurdling rhythm and speed. In the field events, Mia Jamerson claimed the long jump title to give the Vikings another win on the women's side.

 

 

Several Vikings also reached important early-season postseason marks.

 

These performances position LBCC well as the team continues its push toward qualifying athletes for the 3C2A State Championships later this spring.

 

 

The Vikings recorded numerous top-eight finishes across track and field events.

 

The meet provided valuable competition opportunities across a variety of events, particularly for the Vikings competing in the combined events and technical field events. With multiple event victories, state qualifying marks, and a strong number of top-eight finishes, LBCC continues to build momentum as the outdoor season progresses.

 

The Vikings Travel to San Diego next week to compete at the Point Loma Nazarene University Invitational next Saturday, March 14th.
