The Cerritos College
women's track and field team dominated the competition
at the Cerritos Invitational, as they posted two new
school records and won eight different events. The

Setting new school records were sophomore

in the 3000-meter steeplechase, while sophomore
Karen
Guravska (El Dorado HS) cleared 11' 6" in
the pole vault, which was a foot higher than her
previous best height. Muniz broke the old record in the
steeplechase of 11:48.63, which was set by Lynette
Thompson in 2005, while Guravska's height beat
Jennifer Espinoza, who set the old record of 11' in
2006.
Winning events for the Falcons were freshman sprinter
Cyntrail
Pierce (Compton HS), who turned in a time
of 11.8 in the 100 meters, while sophomore hurdler
Erin
Straughter (Valencia HS) captured both
the 100-meter hurdles (15.43) and 400-meter hurdles
(1:05.71). Sophomore
Jessica
Barfield (Lynwood HS) was also a
two-event winner, as she long jumped 18' 1/4" and triple

Whitney Ashley
(J.W. North HS) recorded a distance of 144' 1" in
the discus, while freshman

Also performing well for Cerritos were sophomore

the 400-meter hurdles (1:06.85) and sixth in the
100-meter hurdles (16.49), while freshman

The Falcons are incredibly talented and deep in the field
events, which was put on display. Freshman

with a toss of 142'2" also placed herself fifth on the
school's all-time list. As for Aliimatafitafi, she came
