Ceja, who competed on Friday in the men’s 5,000 meters finished in 31st place with a time of 15:43.59.
On the women’s side, junior Andrea Swanson threw 42’8”, improving on her previous nationals mark of 40’5.5”. Swanson ended the meet in 12th place out of 29 participants.
The Bulldogs will open their 2010 outdoor season next Saturday, March 13, when they host their annual McPherson Invitational.
