MONMOUTH and McMINNVILLE, Ore. – The NCU men's track & field team continued their 2019 campaign this week, traveling to a pair of wet weekend events at Western Oregon and Linfield.
 
The Beacons saw a season-best 4x400m relay mark on Friday at the John Knight Twilight and one new ticket was punched to the Cascade Collegiate Conference championship on Saturday at the Jenn Boyman Invitational.
 
The 4x400m relay team of Josh McCluskey, Antonio Campos-Perez, Nicolas Delgado, and Shawn Johnson finished second behind Corban, running a 3:25.54 to shave a quarter of a second off their season-best time.
 
On Saturday, Jayden Tucker added his second CCC qualification as he leaped 6.27m in the long jump. Already a qualifier in the Triple Jump, Tucker won his flight and finished sixth overall.
 
The Beacons will be back in action this weekend in a "CCC Preview" of sorts as they head to the Southern Oregon Invitational and the site of next month's Conference Championships.
