Bears Record Largest Margin Of Victory In 32 Years

STANFORD – California track & field ended its regular season in tremendous fashion on Tuesday, picking up a more-than-decisive victory on the men’s side at the 129th Big Meet by demolishing Stanford by a margin of 114-48, its largest point differential since 1992. The men also picked up two meet records courtesy of senior Rowan Hamilton (hammer, 74.46m/244-3) and the 4x100m relay quartet of Chase Williams, George Monroe, Mason Mangum and David Foster (39.46); both were previously owned by the Cardinal, with Hamilton’s surpassing Dave Popejoy’s 1995 mark by over four meters.
 
In the women’s competition, the Cardinal broke a three-year Cal winning streak, taking the win with a score of 90-72. Senior Amari Turner earned Cal’s third meet record of the day in the pole vault, surpassing the 2011 mark set by Stanford’s Katerina Stefanidi with a winning leap of 4.35m (14-3.25).
 

“I think all of our kids competed to the best of their ability,” Director of Track & Field/Cross Country Robyne Johnson said. “Credit to Stanford’s women – they were the better team today. Our guys did a really good job, really showed up. I think we can do something special at the Pac-12 Championships.”
