Thirty-Five Earn All-GSAC Status

Biola added 35 All-GSAC nods thanks to the performances of 25 of its student-athletes.

LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Biola had two marquee team performances at the Golden State Athletic Conference championship meet this weekend, but it also got plenty of fantastic individual efforts, resulting in 35 all-conference performances including five relay teams.
 
In order to be considered All-GSAC the student-athletes or relay teams needed to finish among the top-three in the finals of any track or field event.
 
Alexandra Sciarra was the standout individual performer, as the senior racked up five All-GSAC performances. She finished in the top-three in the 400m, 800m, 400m hurdles, 4x800m relay and 4x400m relay.
 
The five All-GSAC nods help Sciarra end her four-year career at Biola with eight total all-conference performances in track and field.
 
Kate Smiley and Jordan Smith also had very busy, very successful weekends as they each ended with four all-conference finishes. Smiley upped her career total to six following solid finishes in the 100m hurdles, 100m, 200m and the 4x100m relay. Smith had previous All-GSAC finishes in the high jump and 4x100m relay, but this season he performed in the triple jump, long jump, high jump and the 4x100m relay.
 
Anika Gasner bested her two all-conference relay performances from 2013 by finishing in the top-three three times this season. She earned her honors in the 800m, 1,500m and the 4x800m relay.
 
The McCahon's, James and Taylor combined for five all-conference marks. Particularly impressive was All-American pole-vaulter Taylor McCahon's All-GSAC run in the 4x100m relay. James McCahon tacked on top-three's in the 400m hurdles, 4x800m relay and 4x100m relay.
 
Biola's 35 All-GSAC performances are its most all-time in a single GSAC Outdoor Track & Field Championship. Twenty-five different student-athletes earned all-conference honors, also an all-time high. Seven of the All-GSAC honorees earned all-conference honors for the first time in their Biola career.
