Competing against four-year competition over the weekend, the Cerritos College men's track and field team withstood the cold and wind at the Ross & Sharon Irwin Invitational at Point Loma Nazarene University. Next weekend, the Falcons will continue to take on university competition at the UCLA Bob Larson/Jim Bush Invitational.
The highlight of the day was sophomore Joshua Melendez (St. Paul HS), who posted a third place time of 3:53.60, which is also the best time in the state. It also moved him into fourth place on the college's all-time Top 5 list.
