In their first action of the year, Chico State track and field dominated the heptathlon and decathlon with senior Lane Andrews winning the decathlon and senior Melanie O’Brien winning the heptathlon.

The Chico Multi Classic was held Thursday and Friday afternoon at Chico State.

The men’s track and field head coach, Oliver Hanf had a good feeling about the track meet before it even began.

“Our numbers are small, but our performance shall be big.” Hanf said.

Chico State had three players finish in the top five of the decathlon proving Hanf’s prediction correct.

Lane Andrews finshed first with a score of 6611, with first place finishes in the men’s long jump and high jump.

Andrews finished in the top five of all events except for shot put.

Other notable performances in the decathlon were Randall LeBlanc who finished second with a score of 6565 and Alex Davila who finished fourth with a 5598.

LeBlanc finished first in the 400 meter dash, Pole Vault, javelin throw, and the 1500 meter run.

LeBlanc finished in the top five of the rest of the events except for the long jump.

Davilla finished first in the shot put with top five finishes in the 100 meter dash, long jump, high jump, 400 meter dash, and pole vault.

Other Wildcats in action were Dylan Smith and Ryan Troudy who finished seventh and eighth respectively.

In the heptathlon, Chico State took the top two spots.

Melanie O’Brien finished first with a score of 4395 and Adelae Fredeen second with a score of 4059.
