TURLOCK -- Cal State L.A.'s Josh Como came up with the perfect ending to a sensational collegiate track and field career.

Como, the national leader in the triple jump heading into the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships, captured the national championship Saturday at rainy and windy Cal State Stanislaus. Como had a mark of 54-2.50 and overwhelmed the field, winning by more than two feet.

Na'i Leni finished third in the women's discus to earn All-America honors. She led the event after the first three rounds and had a best throw of 153-2. Mary Theisen won the event on her sixth and final throw of 163-9, while Larissa Richards of Pittsburg State was second at 159-10.

Como, who holds the Cal State L.A. record with a mark of 54-8, won the triple jump on his second effort. After taking the early lead with a mark of 53-3, Como all but ended the competition with his 54-2.50 mark. Como had a total of five jumps of more than 50 feet and four of them were more than 51 feet.

Jonathan Allen of Lake Superior State was second at 52-0, Ramon Sparks of Abilene Christian was third at 51-7 and Josh Honeycutt of Emporia State was fourth at 50-4.50.

"I think after finishing second last year after being first all year and then struggling the other day in the long jump, we were really excited about how he performed today," Cal State L.A. head coach Christopher Asher said. "After the second jump, I pretty much knew it was over. It was a great performance. After being No. 1 all year with all those guys after him, to put out a 54-2 jump under these conditions was just amazing."

Como picked up the fourth All-America award of his two-year Cal State L.A. career. Como, the USTFCCCA West Region Field of Athlete of the Year, earned three of them last year.

Como's national championship was the second for the Golden Eagles in this meet. On Thursday, Giorgio Bryant won the title in the long jump. It's the first time since 1996 that Cal State L.A.'s men's program has had multiple individual national champions.

"I just feel privileged," Como said. "I'm happy to be a national champion. I know there was pressure on me, but I never get too nervous. I was happy to redeem myself a little bit after the other day. I know the long jump isn't really my event, but I wanted to bounce back today."

The Golden Eagles had been without a national title in men's outdoor track and field since Jonathan Jordan's win in the triple jump in 1998.

Como, whose school record is 54-8, sounded a little disappointed he didn't eclipse that mark while winning on Saturday.

"(Winning a national championship) means a lot; it shows how hard I worked," Como said. "I was hoping to go a little bit farther because I've had better marks, but this still means a lot. I'm going to enjoy it."

Cal State L.A.'s men also had Julius Joseph and Jordan Tyler in action on Saturday and both finished 11th in their events and did not make the finals.

Joseph had a throw of 167-8 to take 11th in the discus and Tyler cleared 15-10 in the pole vault.

Cal State L.A.'s men, on the strength of the first-place finishes by Como and Bryant, wound up in a tie for ninth nationally with 20 points. The women, with All-America performances from Leni and Tuekeha Huntley, finished 29th with eight points.
