Humboldt State University Athletics





AZUSA, Calif.- Marissa McCay and Teigan Eilers competed at the Mt. Sac relays Thursday afternoon. McCay competed in the Women's Heptathlon while Eilers competed in the Men's decathlon. Marissa McCay who was selected CCAA Field Athlete of the Week on Tuesday, finished 17th overall with a 141 point Heptathlon. This serves as a personal best for McCay. Her point total of 4935 is a strong provisional qualifying mark that gives McCay a strong chance to advance into the NCAA's. Eilers continues to perform at a high level as he works his way back into competition after missing last season with an injury. He totaled 6714 points in his decathlon. "Marissa and Teigan had great performances these past couple days. Despite not setting many personal bests in individual events, both really capitalized on big improvements in their traditionally weaker events, which prompted really solid overall point totals" said Coach Sarah Ingram. The maturity and level headedness of each of them was apparent this weekend, staying patient and approaching each event as if it was a whole new competition. They both showed that 'fight' throughout the entire competition." Print Friendly Version
