BERKELEY, CALIF.- Sonoma State Track and Field, coming off a great outing at the Gaucho Relays last week, once again made a strong impression at the 2025 Cal Opener hosted by the Cal Berkeley Bears.

Paving the way for the Seawolves was an extremely strong showing from the team's throwers. The Seawolves dominated across a variety of events. In the discus the team locked down three of the top four finishes. Ariyah Ford was outstanding posting a 40.52 meter throw that was over five meters ahead of the second place finisher. Melina Jones landed in second place throwing 35.40 meters while Rebecca Hampton finished within less than a meter of her with a 35.09 meter throw. 

The Seawolves were just as impactful in the hammer throw by securing another three of the top four finishers. Ford once again was the top finisher with a 44.20 meter throw that landed her in second place. Kyra Togni and Tesa Liufau would take third and fourth respectively with Tongi throwing 43.00 meters and Liufau finishing with 41.51 meters. 

In the distance events Sophie Rodriguez was the Seawolves top performer in both the 3000 and 1500 meter. In the longer of the two Rodriguez finished with a final time of 10:22.40. She was even better in the 1500 thanks to a top 10 finish and a 4:54.82 finishing time. 

Lastly in the jumps Amber Walker and Jazmine Severo continued their strong 2025 season while also being joined by Delaney Brown. In the high jump the pair of Walker and Severo both landed in the top five of athletes. Walker secured a third place finish with a 1.63 meter jump. Severo was not far behind as she landed in fifth with a mark of 1.58 meters. The duo also finished in the top 10 for the long jump but it was Delaney Brown that led the Seawolves in said event as she took sixth place with a 5.04 meter jump from the freshman.
