Jim and I volunteered for a second day at the Pac-12 Track and Field Championships. We were again assigned to the Discus Competition. At first there were only the two of us, then three more volunteers came to help.
Today, the competitors threw the discus further than the Decathlon competitors yesterday. We were very busy. The competition was quite exciting! Mykolas Alekna from Cal won the Men's discus throw with a collegiate record of 70.40 meters!
After our competition ended, Jim and I walked over to get our lunch. We were right near where the track races began.
Here were the final times. Congratulations, Trojan Tade Ojora 13.48 and Trojan Johnny Brackins 13.75 for coming in 1-2!
KEEP FIGHTING ON, USC Track and Field!
My husband Jim and I volunteered for the Pac-12 Track and Field Championships at Mt. San Antonio College.
We were assigned to the Men’s Discus Competition on our first day.
After our Discus event ended, I walked to the tent area where each Pac-12 team was located. Naturally, I walked to the USC tent. I met several Trojans at the tent, wrote their names in my notebook and interviewed two lady track competitors. Unfortunately, I have misplaced my notebook. So I am just posting the pictures now, and when I find my notebook, I will add the interviews. Here is the first picture I took of the Trojans in the tent. From left to right are Throws Assistant Coach Martin Maric, Jumps and Multi-events Assistant Coach Jeff Petersmeyer, ?, Director of Operations (Athletic Medicine) Russ Romano, and Heptathlon Graduate Allie Jones.
Here is the picture of Allie Jones that I took for her interview article. FIGHT ON, Allie!
Nearby in the tent Trojan Candy saw a familiar face. She was Summer Mosley (3/19/2022). It turns out that I interviewed Summer at a Trojan Track Invitational on March 19, 2022. KEEP FIGHTING ON, Summer!
