AZUSA, Calif. - The CSUB men's and women's track and field teams hit nine season best marks Friday as the Roadrunners competed at the Bryan Clay Invitational hosted by Azusa Pacific. CSUB's Steve Trojanowski, Cameron Jost and Derek Johnson were also in competition across town at the highly competitive Mt. Sac relays in Walnut, Calif.
In the 1,500, Edward Lee ran a personal-best of 4:01.41 to place 14th overall. Lee came back later in the day to run the best 800 meter time of the season, finishing in 2:00.27.

He then was transported back across town to compete at the Bryan Clay Invitational to run a leg on the men's 4x400 meter relay team which placed fifth in 3:20.01.
On the women's side, senior Katherine Patrick improved her 1,500 meter personal best by running 4:55.89. April Cacuyog won her heat of the 400 meter dash to place 18th overall in a season-low time of 59.71.
