At the New Mexico Collegiate Classic last Friday and Saturday, the UCLA contingent was well represented by the women. In a large field of teams, including USC, Texas, TCU, Arizona State, Texas Tech, Cal, Ole Miss, Illinois, Iowa, and many others, the UCLA ladies finished sixth overall. The men didn't fare nearly as well, winding up in twelfth. Here are some of the Bruin highlights from this big indoor meet in the Albuquerque Convention Center with the running events staged on the 200m banked indoor track.

Ka'Leila Abrille, 2nd in the pole vault, 14-0.
