Davis, Simon Post Wins at Stanford Invite
STANFORD – California finished out the Stanford Invitation with a number of strong performances across the board Saturday, including wins by
Ashtyn Davis in the men's 110-meter hurdles and
Peter Simon in the men's shot put.
Â
Davis, who had the top qualifying time in Friday's prelims, came through in 13.83 seconds, almost four-tenths of a second ahead of the rest of the field.
Â
Simon was just as convincing the shot put. He posted his winning mark of 62-1.75 on his opening throw, and each of his four legal marks were longer than anyone else in the competition.
Â
Among others competing Saturday were
Karsten Wethington in the men's triple jump and
Ashley Anderson in the women's triple jump, who both posted runner-up finishes. Wethington went a wind-aided 48-11.75, while Anderson was the top collegian and came within an inch of her personal best with her mark of 42-3.50.
Â
In Friday's late action,
Robert Brandt posted the No. 2 mark in school history in the men's 10,000 meters, crossing the line in 28:48.38.
Â
The Bears return to the Stanford campus next Saturday for the annual Big Meet between the Bay Area rivals.
