College Station, here they come.
After just more than a month’s worth of competing at meet after meet and traveling all across the country, the men’s and women’s track and field teams will be sending a combined five athletes to the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships held in College Station, Tex. this Friday and Saturday.
On the women’s side, senior hurdler Lindsay Rowe and freshman thrower Ida Storm will be representing the Bruins at nationals, while senior jumper Jonathan Clark, freshman thrower Alec Faldermeyer and senior distance runner Cory Primm from the men’s side will also be competing.
Meanwhile, the rest of the members of the men’s and women’s teams will open the outdoor season when they head over to the Northridge Invitational, also held Friday and Saturday.
You might have heard this already, but Ben Howland was in a loving mood Saturday evening.
The UCLA men’s basketball coach, seated in front of reporters after UCLA’s 58-54 win over Washington State, interrupted a question to address something on his mind.
“By the way, I’ll let you know that I thought about you, Jon.”
He was addressing Los Angeles Daily News UCLA beat writer Jon Gold, and remembering a chat they had in December. Gold had asked Howland how he would feel if the Bruins reached 22 wins ““ like Gold thought they would ““ and Howland said he would would kiss him, purely out of elation.
Well, win No. 22 rolled around in Pullman, Wash., and Howland wanted to praise Gold’s prediction.
“You are a psychic,” a beaming Howland said.
“You know what you said you’d do, right?” Gold quipped back.
The (slightly paraphrased) quote: “Jon, if we win 22 games, I’ll give you a kiss.”
Headlined by Malcolm Lee, four UCLA men’s basketball players earned all-conference honors from the Pac-10 on Monday.
