Davis, Calif.----- Four performances in the 400 meters, all season bests, were among the highlights of San Jose State University's day at the Woody Wilson Collegiate Invitational track and field meet.
Aidan Jardon became the first Spartan this season to run the 400 under 50.00 with his seventh-place finishing time of 49.85. Dominic Tanner, ninth in 50.22, Mikael Tyler's 52.50 and Cannon Yates' 53.21 also were season bests.
Yates picked up a second season-best with his 23.95 in the 200 meters.
Charlie Pope and Luis Chavez turned in their season bests in the 1500 meters with times of 3:56.81 and 4:02.80, respectively.
Richard Dang's 12.79 meters in the triple jump and Matt Porter navigating the 400 hurdles in 58.97 round out the nine season bests on the day by the Spartans. Porter's time was good for second place, the highest finish by a San Jose State competitor at the meet.
In the team scoring, the Spartans finished third out of four teams. UC Davis was first with 183 followed by Sacramento State with 120. San Jose State's 42 was one point better than the University of San Francisco's 41.
The Spartans have a number of meets scheduled in Northern and Southern California next weekend. Stanford hosts the Cardinal Classic, April 19 & 20 and there are the Mt. SAC Relays on April 20 and the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate on April 18.
