Track & Field: Craddock, Graham advance to CCCAA State Championships

Both Long Beach City College sophomore Ashley Craddock and freshman Chris Graham have qualified for next week's California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) Track & Field State Championship. The state finals are set for May 18-19 at nearby Cerritos College.

The duo will represent LBCC in three events thanks to their qualifying finishes at Saturday's Southern California finals at San Diego Mesa College.

Craddock (pictured) advanced in both the women's 100 and 200 meters. She ran a season-best 11.99 in the 100 to finish in third place and was fourth in the 200 at 25.05.

For the LBCC men, Graham ran 14.78 in the 110-meter high hurdles to take fourth place and earn a spot at the state finals.
