For many track and field athletes, excelling at one event is challenging enough.

It’s often said that history has a way of repeating itself. Unfortunately, that was not true for the UCLA women’s track and field team this past weekend.

Anytime UCLA and USC square off there is a lot at stake.

The UCLA women’s club water polo team has had one goal since fall quarter: to make it to nationals. This weekend in Oregon they will see that dream realized.

For redshirt junior Dustin DeLeo, vaulting to lifetime bests is starting to become routine. Just a week after clearing a height of 17 feet, 3 inches in the pole vault, DeLeo went to the Triton Invitational and smashed that height with a vault of 18-1.

Even with limited participation this weekend at UC San Diego’s Triton Invitational, the UCLA men’s track and field team will be looking for big results from the throwers and the pole vaulters.

In a day filled with extreme weather that included rain, wind and hail, the men’s track and field team did its best to overcome the elements and the Ducks but fell short in a 94-69 loss.
