2022 Big West Championships results (.pdf) >>>
IRVINE, Calif. - The 2022 Big West Track & Field Championships were recently contested in Davis with the Cal State Fullerton men repeating as team champion. Along with team honors, titles were given out in 21 individual events, resulting in 81 instances of All-Conference status for the men of The Big West.
Seven of the nine schools to bring athletes to The Big West Championships had at least one man finish in their respective event’s top three from Woody Wilson Track & Toomy Field. The Titans led the charge with 26 All-Big West performances, followed by 22 for Long Beach State, and nine apiece for CSUN and UC Santa Barbara. Cal Poly (8), UC Irvine (4), and UC Davis (3) round out the student-athlete performances to earn All-Conference distinction.
A total of 19 athletes earned acclaim in more than one event with Cal State Fullerton sprinters Alonzo Floriolli (100m, 200m, 4x100), Charles Kelly (110mH, 400mH, 4x400) and Justin Lowe (200m, 400m, 4x400) turning in three All-Big West marks each. Also recording three top-three finishes apiece was the Long Beach State trio of Jason Smith (high jump, long jump, triple jump), Charlie Vernoy (discus, hammer, shot put) and Justin Watterson (110mH, 400mH, 4x400).
Multiple athletes had already posted a mark that puts them in the top 48 of their respective events, and in the mix to earn selection into the 2022 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field West Preliminary Rounds.
Individuals who leapt up to a top 48 position on the lists and into consideration for selection with their Big West Championships performance include Sebastian Coleman (LBSU - hammer), Alonzo Floriolli (CSF - 100m), Marcos Gonzales (LBSU - javelin), Aidan McCarthy (CP - 800m), Liam Miksic (UCI - javelin), Daniel Palacio (CSF - pole vault), Jason Smith (LBSU - triple jump), and Chase Tarr (UCSB - javelin).
Arkansas will serve as the West region hosts with competition taking place at John McDonnell Field from May 25-28. Athletes with the top 12 marks and best 12 relay teams at both the East and West Preliminary Rounds sites will qualify for the 2022 NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track & Field Championships, slated to be held at historic Hayward Field June 8-11.
The announcement of the preliminary round field is set for tomorrow, May 19 on NCAA.com.
