As one of only two community
colleges to compete in the
Pacific Coast Invitational, held
at The Home Depot Center on
Friday, the Cerritos College
men's track and field team was
still able to maintain a
competitive presence in the
meet. The Falcons won six of the
10 events held, which included
wins in both of the relay races,
as well as two athletes winning
two events each. The team will
now host the South Coast
Conference Prelims, which will
be on Saturday, with the first
event scheduled to start at
10:00 a.m.
