CLAREMONT, Calif. – Azusa Pacific track & field had athletes competed at the Rossi Relays hosted by Claremont-Mudd-Scripps on Saturday, and the Cougars hit provisional marks and set personal-bests over the competition.

The meet was highlighted by a pair of performances in the javelin, with Luisa Fischer delivering a provisional mark on the women's side, while Logan Peyton improved upon his previously held provisional distance on the men's side.

Just one week after making his collegiate debut and reaching a provisional distance of 59.48m (195' 2") at the Pomona-Pitzer All Comers meet, Peyton increased his mark on Saturday with a best throw of 62.98m (206' 7"). Currently, Peyton sits atop of the national list in the event. 

Fischer competed in the javelin for the first time in her Azusa Pacific career, and she met the provisional standard with an effort of 42.43m (139' 2"). With the performance, Fischer is No. 2 on the national qualifying list, second only to teammate Nicole Warwick (44.75m/146' 10").

In addition to Peyton and Fischer, both the men's and women's teams had several athletes post good outings in the javelin on Saturday. On the women's side, Alysa Henry finished fifth (38.27m/125' 7"), and Ashley Hume was ninth (32.43m/106' 5"). For the men, Lincoln Krog placed fifth (47.97m/157' 4"), and Seth Storlie was eighth (45.56m/149' 6").

"I am really excited with the marks that the javelin squad has had over the last two meets," said head coach Jack Hoyt, "Hopefully, we will keep it rolling and get some athletes to the national championships in May."

The women's team also competed in two other field events, with Eliana Saunders (1.62m/5' ¾") and Abi Hume (1.57m/5' 1 ¾") participating in the high jump, while Abi Hume also took part in the triple jump (10.38m/ 34' ¾").

Two Cougars also represented Azusa Pacific on the track, as Nixon Korir and Ryan Negrette ran the 3000. Both Korir and Negrette posted personal bests in the event, with Korir crossing the line with a time of 8:27.72, and Negrette running a time of 8:58.37.
