STANFORD, Calif. - Amanda Hunter captured the women's collegiate triple jump as seven Golden Bears posted top-10 finishes on the second day of the Stanford Invitational Saturday afternoon.

Hunter registered a mark of 40-2.25 on her first attempt, then passed on her final two of four tries having secured a victory over runner-up Candace Alvarez of Hawaii, who had a best of 39-10.75.

Aziza Baker competed in the invitational triple jump, where she took sixth with a PR effort of 40-4.25. The distance was 5.25 inches further than her previous outdoor best of 38-11.00 set two weeks ago.
