In response to Decent Day #1 for UCLA in B1g Indoor T&F Championships (MacBruin)
I wasn't surprised at the men's placement in the Indoor B1g T&F Championships meet, but the women didn't perform up to their potential on day two. At least they got third in the 4x400m (3:31.11), while the men got sixth in the relay (3:10.26). Here are the five Bruins who came through on the second day and scored points for UCLA.

MEN (28 points)
Gabriel Clement II, 400m, third (46.36)
Di'Niko Bates, 60m hurdles, fifth (7.81)
Michael Mireles, 3000m, sixth, (7:59.97)

WOMEN (31 points)
Asha Fletcher, triple jump, fourth (43-4.25)
Yanla Ndjip-Nyemeck, 60m hurdles, third (8.09)

Oregon won both men's and women's titles. Let's hope the Bruins can fare better in the outdoor meets.
