Update from May 25, 2022 - The Laney College Women's Track Team did well at state!  Congratulations to Shona Christensen for earning the bronze medal for third place in the state of California!  Coach Robert Crawley attended the Board of Trustees meeting on May 24, 2022 and commented, "This past weekend, we just got back from L.A. where we returned from the CCCAA state championship meet. It was the first time the program had been there since 2018 and the first time we had someone representing [Laney] in the throws since 2013. I want to highlight Shona Christensen. She placed third in the state in the shot put...It was really cool to be at the state meet in front of thousands of people. Shona was a great representative for Laney College and all the Peralta Colleges."  You can listen to comments from Coach Crawley, Laney College Athletic Director John Beam, Shona and her brother Joseph here.
