Asher led the women’s outdoor track and field team to a seventh-place national finish, the cross country team to a 13th-place national finish, the women’s indoor track and field team to a 26th-place national finish and the men’s outdoor track and field team to a 41st-place national finish. Both the women’s cross country and women’s outdoor track and field teams finished second in the California Collegiate Athletic Association. The women’s cross country team went on to finish fourth in the West Christopher Asher Region and qualified for the national championships for a third straight year. Head Coach The women’s outdoor track team had its best national finish since 1996. The Golden Eagles also had the CCAA Newcomer of the Year in both cross country and track and field in Vivien Wadeck and the CCAA Freshman of the Year in women’s track and field in Tuekeha Huntley. In the 2007-08 season, Asher led the women’s cross country team to its first CCAA championship since 1994 in 2007 and guided the squad to a second-place finish in the West Region and a fifth-place national finish. He also led the women’s indoor track and field team to an 11th-place national finish that included a national championship for triple jumper Omonike Kotey.

In 2007, she helped the Cal State L.A. cross country team record its second consecutive national top-five finish, a second-place NCAA Division II West Region finish and a CCAA team championship. The Golden Eagles also had the individual conference champion (Karla Alburez), two runners earned All-America honors (Alburez and Shawna Burger), four runners earned All-Region honors and (Alburez, Liliana Hernandez, Maribel Cespedes and Burger) and five runners earned All-CCAA honors (Alburez, Cynthia Rios, Cespedes, Burger and Hernandez). In track and field in 2007, six distance runners earned All-CCAA honors and three qualified for the NCAA Championships. Alburez and Maija Rohde earned All-America honors.

Cal State L.A. also captured the NCAA Division II West Region title and finished second in the conference. Five Golden Eagles earned All-CCAA honors, three earned All-Region honors and two earned All-America honors. In track and field in 2006, three runners made it to nationals, including Pilar Delgado, who was named the NCAA Division II West Region Athlete of the Year.

** NCAA Championships are Division II unless noted About Jesse Owens Track Jesse Owens Track is home to the Cal State L.A. soccer and track and field teams. With permanent bleacher seating for 5,000 specta- tors, it also hosts many other events throughout the year, including the University’s commencement ceremony each June.
In preparation for the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles, Cal State L.A. was selected as one of six sites to construct a world- class training track. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on January 29, 1982.
The initial surface selected by the L.A. Organizing Committee for the track was “Recaflex S.” This surface, known for its versatility, is hard enough to record fast times but still soft enough to allow for a regular training regiment.
The track was officially dedicated on May 22, 1983, during the L.A. Regional Championships of the ARCO Jesse Owens Games.

As a member of Cal State L.A.’s track and field team from 1983 to 1985, she had many top finishes sandwiched around an eighth-place finish for her native Jamaica in the 1984 Olympics. Then Farmer-Patrick’s career really accelerated. In 1987, she just missed a medal in the 400m hurdles at the World Championships in Rome. As a 400m hurdler for the U.S., she won a silver medal at the 1992 Olympics, gold medal at the 1989 and 1992 World Cups, gold medal at the 1990 Goodwill Games, and numerous other medals. Competing in glamorous skirt-outfits, she launched a side career starring in many television commercials. She also earned a bachelor’s degree in industrial psychology and a master’s degree in human resources. At the 2004 summer Olympic Games, she served as the lead athlete services coordinator for all sports. She currently chairs the USA Track & Field’s Athlete’s Advisory Committee and serves as the United States Olympic Committee’s athlete representative. Farmer-Patrick is married to another Olympic hurdler, David
Sandra Farmer-Patrick Patrick. They have a son and a daughter.
