With only a week to go before the USC-UCLA dual meet, a select group of the Trojan track and field team will split up this weekend at two Southern California meets.
USC will send the majority of its competing athletes to both the Tiny Lister Invitational at Cal State Los Angeles and the Triton Invitational at UC San Diego in preparation for the championship stretch of their season.
While some of USC’s best competitors will rest this weekend, there is still a strong contingent of Trojans lacing up the spikes.
Juniors Oscar Spurlock and Brendan Ames will run the 110-meter hurdles at Tiny Lister, and freshman Reggie Wyatt and sophomore Duane Walker will run the 400-meter hurdle race.
Ames is coming off a career-best run at the Mt. Sac Relays last weekend, where he ran a 13.80 in the 110-meter hurdles.
Wyatt is also fresh from a career best at Mt. Sac, where he ran a 50.45 in the 400-meter dash.
For the USC women, senior Elizabeth Olear will run the 200-meter dash, the race in which she had a season-best time at last week’s Mt. Sac Relays.
The women will also send their regular 4×100-meter relay team to Cal State Los Angeles.
USC will only send four throwers to the Triton Invitational. Seniors Aaron Dan and Col Campbell will compete in the discus, junior Trey Henderson will compete in the hammer throw and sophomore Alex Adams will participate in both the shot put and the discus for the Trojans.
