CSM Roundup: Uikilifi Qualifies for State Meet in Four Events; Baseball, Softball Teams win Super Regional Openers

Nikki Uikilifi qualified for the California Community College Athletic Association track and field finals in all four women’s throws for College of San Mateo at Friday’s Northern California championship and qualifying meet at CSM.

CSM’s men’s team will also be represented in all of the throwing events at next weekend’s championships at Cerritos College in Norwalk.

Roman Skovronski had the top track effort for the Bulldogs. The freshman improved his No. 2 all-time CSM ranking in the 400 meter hurdles a half second to 53.31, placing a close second to Chad Thomas of College of the Siskiyous (53.21). Thomas and Skovronski now rank 4-5 in the state.

In the men’s throws, Josh Uikilifi placed second in the hammer throw (171 feet, 7 inches) and third in the shot put (personal best 54-6). His teammate Evan McDaniel placed second in the shot at 55-1. So both earned state meet berths.  McDaniel also made state in the discus throw with a 157-10 third place toss.

Aaron Tombleson of Sacramento increased his state shot put lead to 58-3 1/4 to win the event over No. 2 in the state McDaniel.

Zeke Edwards placed fifth in the javelin throw (176-5) to grab a state finals spot. Anthony Capitulo just missed a state meet berth with a personal best throw of 170-7 for seventh place points..   

In the women’s throws, Nikki Uikilifi placed second in three events: the discus with a personal best of  152-11, the javelin at 113-8, and the shot put at 41-3.

She was fourth in the hammer throw,  at 137-7, to complete the meet’s best all-around woman’s field event performance with 29 points. That accounted for CSM’s 11th place team finish.

CSM placed seventh in the men’s team competition with 44 1/2 points.

Daniel Chavez (8-3) allowed one run on eight hits in 8 1/3 innings as CSM opened Super Regional play Friday with a 5-1 victory over Diablo Valley.
