Competing in Austin, Texas, the Bears put on a show for the last time. Although no Cal athlete walked away with a national title, veteran Bears ended their careers strong and rookies managed to impress.
Competing May 24-27, Cal earned 15 spots at the NCAA track and field championships in Austin, Texas. Additionally, decathlon pre-qualifier senior Hakim McMorris and 4x100m relay alternate junior Ryan Lacefield will join the team at the championships.
Competing at the Pac-12 championships, both of Cal’s teams, the men and women, took fourth place. It was none other than the Cal throwing squad that carried the team with four podium finishes.
Facing both Pac-12 and nonconference competitors in San Diego, the Bears were able to find individual successes, with the men’s hammer throw and pole vault squads leading the way.
Shining bright at Stanford were the men’s hammer throwers and women’s pole vaulters who totaled two meet records and four top-10 program marks.
