CSUB Track Stars Head to Nationals

Cal State Bakersfield’s Makiah Parker is headed to the NCAA Division I Track and Field Championships as a double threat in the 100m and 200m, and as a key member of the record-breaking 4x100m relay squad. With a personal best of 11.44 in the 100m and 23.88 in the 200m, Parker’s speed is matched by the relay team’s historic 44.83-second time — shattering a 43-year-old school record. Her teammates Rionna Wallace, Teague Marzetta, and Chizitere Okey Dike are also competing, including high jumper Marzetta, who cleared 5’8” for second in the conference. Both Parker and Marzetta bring championship experience from last year’s NCAA West meet. The team’s dominance — including a second-place finish at the Big West Championships — proves the strength of Cal State Bakersfield’s program as they prepare to compete this weekend at the University of Arkansas.
