Over the weekend, the Cerritos College men's track and field took part in both the Bob Larsen Distance Carnival on Friday and the Jim Bush Legends Meet on Saturday at UCLA. The team will continue their season next weekend at UC Irvine when they take part in the Vince O'Boyle Track & Field Calssic.
Highlighting the performances for the Falcons was sophomore Joshua Melendez (St. Paul HS) in the 1500 meters. Not only did he shave two seconds off the fastest time in in the state, his time of 3:51.80 moved his name into second place on the colleges' all-time Top 5 list. Melendez (pictured, left) only trails Daniel Herrera, who posted a time of 3:46.25 in 2012.
