SAN JOSE, Calif.— Emilia Sjostrand rejoins her teammates as San José State looks to get its outdoor season started at the Cardinal Classic on Saturday, March 18.

  • SJSU's season-opening meet, the Cal Opener on March 4, was cancelled due to rain. But not before Fabio Hessling won the Men's Hammer Throw with a mark of 58.24m (191'1") in the only event that was able to be completed at the meet. Bryson Smith came in second in the same event with a mark of 58.04m (190'5")
  • This will be Sjostrand's first outdoor outing of the season after she missed the Cal Opener to prepare for the NCAA Indoor Championships. This will also be her first action since becoming the first All-American woman in indoor program history and being the first woman to represent SJSU at an NCAA Indoor Championship meet
  • Gabrielle Spencer will see her first outdoor action since finishing No. 29 overall in the NCAA West Preliminary Round for the Women's 200m Dash. She won the MW Championship title in the Women's 200m with a time of 23.19 last season
  • Micah Hairston will compete in an outdoor event for the first time since finishing No. 19 in the NCAA West Preliminary Round for the Men's 110 Hurdles event. He was crowned as a Mountain West champion last season for the Men's 110mH in 2022
  • Sjostrand placed second in the Women's Triple Jump at the MW Outdoor Championships last season with a mark of 12.77m (41'10.75")
  • Bryson Smith finished third in the Men's Hammer Throw at the MW Outdoor Championships last season with a mark of 57.27m (187'11") as a freshman
  • Spencer also placed third in the Women's 100m Dash at the MW Outdoor Championships last season with a mark of 11.58
