UCLA sent several athletes to the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in Austin, a huge, 4-day meet spanning high school, college and pro competitors, and the high point for Joanna Hayes' contingent was the women's 4x400m relay team (Aly Conyers, Taylor Snaer, Kayla McBride and Naomi Johnson). They took second place in the university division with a good time of 3:29.41 (sandwiched between Arkansas and TCU). Also on the women's side of the ledger, Jana van Schalkwyk finished second in the javelin with a strong throw of 185-3. The men's 4x400m quartet of Gabriel Clement II, Tamaal Myers II, John Robinson IV and Zaire Waring finished fifth in 3:07.27.
Here are some other notables from the Texas meet:
WOMEN
Ka'Leila Abrille and Katerina Adamiec finished second and third in the pole vault at 13-7.25.
Lyvante Su'emai got eighth in both the discus (172-11) and the hammer throw (196-3).
MEN
Michael Pinckney took fourth in the discus (191-2); Jake Stafford got sixth (185-0).
Kris Emig took third in the hammer throw (212-2); Pinckney finished fifth (206-1).
At the Vince O'Boyle Track and Field Classic at UCI, a separate contingent of Bruins posted some solid marks.
MEN
Allan Hunter won the long jump with 25-11.
Terrence Sweetman got second in the triple jump (48-4).
Elijah Major won the 100m (10.51).
Oliver Thorner finished second in the 800m (1:53.73).
WOMEN
Sydney Johnson won the long jump (22-3.5) and took third in the 100m hurdles (13.98).
Valentina Fakrogha won the high jump (5-7.25).
Mackenzie Kirk got second in the triple jump (39-8.75) and Jade McDonald finish fourth (39-4.5).
This coming weekend will be another split-squad schedule--the Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto and the Rafer Johnson/Jackie Joyner-Kersee Invitational at Drake Stadium.
