Banana Slugs Shines at Kiim Duyst and Wartburg Final Qualifier

TURLOCK, Ca. – The UC Santa Cruz men's and women's track and field teams traveled to Cal State Stanislaus for the Kim Duyst Invitational on March 6-7, picking up strong performances across the board. UC Santa Cruz also sent a small group of athletes to the Wartburg Final Qualifier at Wartburg College on March 6-7, highlighted by freshman Nia Kim setting a new program record in the pentathlon and junior Elena Stanciu taking first in the mile. The Slugs efforts landed some last chance magic as Nia Kim, Elena Stanciu, and Caedan Gardner all earned spots at the NCAA Championships with their final push, joining Evan Hofstetter in Alabama for the Indoor Track and Field Championships.
