Wildcats of the Week
|
Men's Track
For all the success that Joseph Rivera has enjoyed during the 2011-12 season, the Chico State distance runner still was faced with a make-or-break situation last weekend at the Willamette West Coast Invitational. To insure a chance to compete in the upcoming NCAA Track & Field Championships, Rivera had to come up with one of the best performances of his Wildcat career – and deliver he did, racking up an NCAA provisional mark in the 1,500-meter run to earn the coveted trip to Pueblo, Colo. His remarkable run also makes Rivera the latest Wildcat of the Week.
Rivera notched a sixth place finish Saturday at the Willamette West Coast Invitational, covering the Charles Bowles Track in Salem, Ore. in a time of 3:47.85, securing the NCAA provisional bid and topping his previous PR in the 1,500 by nearly five seconds. The run was the 10th fastest time in the nation this season, and the eighth best in Chico State history.
Saturday’s performance is just the latest highlight of Rivera’s 2011-12 season. The senior from Tulare had earned All-California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) and All-West Region honors last fall in cross country, and last week came through with an All-CCAA effort in the 1,500-meter run.

Women's Track
No one can accuse Chico State women’s track & field runner Stephanie Consiglio of not going out in style. The fifth-year senior from Oceanside delivered a personal best performance in the 1,500-meter run during Saturday’s Willamette West Coast Invitational, notching an NCAA provisional mark with one of the top times in the event in Chico State history. Her outstanding effort in the last regular season meet of 2012 has earned Consiglio a well-deserved Wildcat of the Week award.
Consiglio logged a fifth place time of 4:31.59 Saturday at Charles Bowles Track in Salem, Ore. The run was not only her all-time best, but also the fourth fastest 1,500 ever by a Wildcat and the 27th best in the nation this season.
Consiglio wraps up her Chico State career with three All-California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) honors, as well as All-West Region recognition in cross country. In addition to her top 10 mark in the 1,500, Consiglio owns the sixth fastest time in the 5,000-meter run (17:03.65) in Chico State history.

KEIZER, Ore. – The Chico State baseball team is full of tough looking ’Cats. Unruly hair and intimidating tattoos dot the dugout. Some of the guys were just born looking a bit rough around the edges. But you won’t find a tougher guy in that dugout than the soft-spoken baby-faced assassin Abel Alcantar, at least as far as his teammates and Head Coach Dave Taylor are concerned.
