Cal State Northridge Gains Pair of Transfers for Track

High jumper Criss Moxley from Saddleback College and hurdler Malcolm Stewart from Sacramento City College are expected to enroll at Cal State Northridge today and will be eligible to compete for the Matador track and field team this spring.

Moxley, a sophomore, has a personal best of 6 feet 11 inches in the high jump.

Stewart, a junior, has run 54.2 seconds in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles, but Northridge Coach Don Strametz said he might be redshirted this year, depending on his fitness level at the start of the season.

Baseball

A decision on the athletic eligibility of three former Faith Baptist High baseball players has again been delayed by a City Section committee.

Seniors Chad Evanson, Mike Jimenez and Clint Marcus left Faith Baptist after their junior year. Decisions on their financial hardship petitions already have been delayed three times.

Parents of the three players were told by the City athletics office Thursday that a decision would not be announced until today because of a backlog of agenda items.

“I’m frustrated,� Marcus said. “Tryouts are coming up and I want to know what I’m going to be doing.�

Marcus transferred to El Camino Real; Evanson and Jimenez are enrolled at Chatsworth.
