CHICO – Picking up where he left off after a strong performance Thursday, Chico State junior Talor Fulfer earned enough points with plenty to spare during Friday’s final day of the Chico Multi to grab an NCAA Championships provisional bid in the Decathlon. Fulfer racked up 3,220 points in the final five Decathlon events to finish the two-day competition in first place in the Decathlon Group A with 6,617 points – over 300 points more than he needed to win the provisional bid. In the Decathlon Group B, Wildcat freshman J. Patrick Smith led the field with 6,109 points over the 10 events.

Fulfer won two of Friday’s five Group A events, finishing first in the discus (140 feet, five inches) and the javelin (191 feet), while tying for third in the pole vault (12 feet, 5.05 inches). Chico State teammate Brian Beeman finished third in the eight-man field with a two-day point total of 6,289 – the senior Decathlete won the 1,500-meter run Friday with a time of 4:27.55, and notched top five finishes in the javelin, pole vault and 110-meter hurdles. One other Wildcat competing in Group A, sophomore Jon-Michael Delima, came in fifth overall with 5,715 points, finishing second Friday in the 1,500 (4:32.99), the javelin (151 feet, 10 inches) and the pole vault (12 feet, 11.50 inches). Chico State’s Michael Beeman, competing unattached, finished fourth overall in Group A with 6,091 points.

Wildcats of the Week

Amir Carraway

Men's Basketball

Amir Carraway capped a strong weekend with team highs of 16 points and seven rebounds in the Wildcats’ huge win against Humboldt State Saturday night to earn Wildcat of the Week honors for the second time this season.

The sophomore from Vallejo made two game-sealing free throws with 21 seconds left to finish the night 6-of-7 from the free throw line and pulled down key rebounds on two of the Lumberjacks’ last three possessions. He also set the screen on Jay Flores’ dagger 3-pointer with 40 seconds left.

Carraway finished with 10 points and four rebounds despite playing just 18 minutes due to foul trouble during the Wildcats’ loss to Sonoma State the night before.

The 6-foot-5 forward leads the team in rebounding at 5.5 per game and ranks second in scoring at 10.6 points per game a season after averaging just 1.4 points and one rebound in only 5.4 minutes a night. He’s now led the team in scoring five times and rebounding six this season.

Carraway and the Wildcats, among four teams tied for second in the California Collegiate Athletic Association standings, trail conference co-leaders Cal Poly Pomona and Cal State Dominguez Hills by just one game. They’ll welcome Cal Poly Pomona to town Friday night and San Francisco State Saturday.

Caressa Williams

Women's Basketball

For much of the season, redshirt freshman Caressa Williams has been sitting at the end of the Chico State women’s basketball team bench, seeing very little on-court action. But the former Paradise High School star continued to work hard on her game, and the extra effort has paid off in recent weeks with significantly more playing time. After a string of short but impressive relief roles, Williams delivered a breakout performance Saturday against Humboldt State, posting career highs in scoring and rebounding in the Wildcats’ 90-67 thumping of Humboldt State. Her strongest effort to date makes Williams the latest Wildcat of the Week.

Williams shot over 58 percent (7-of-12), averaging just under 10 points and five rebounds in Chico State’s two weekend contests. She began the weekend with a solid outing Friday against Sonoma State, contributing five points, two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 16 minutes of action. Saturday, though, she was a major part of the Wildcat reserves combining to score 51 in the team’s convincing 23-point win over Humboldt. Williams played 24 minutes, scoring 14 points and hauling in seven rebounds – both career highs – connecting on five of her seven field goal attempts. She also chipped in with an assist and a steal in addition to shining on the defensive end.

Williams’ productive weekend saw her season scoring average more than double, rising from 1.6 to 3.6 points per game. Overall, she is shooting 50 percent from the field and is averaging two rebounds a contest.

Chico State is back in action this weekend, hosting Cal Poly Pomona Friday and San Francisco State Saturday at Acker Gym. Both games are scheduled to tipoff at 5:30 p.m.
