Fight On! USC-UCLA Track Meet!

USC and UCLA 2007 Track And Field Press Conference!

Very few track meets pit one great team against another now-a-days and this is unfortunate… most meets feature many schools together. However, the USC-UCLA dual meet has always been a historical event… and competing in it retains city bragging rights…. forever. When alumni meet years later… they will always ask,” how did you do in THE dual meet?” Some folks will say,” I never lost… or it took me four years to win one…”… but everyone KNOWS who did what and when… also WHO didn’t.

Last year, Karen PR’d in 3 events winning the Shot Put at 57-07.5. The key word in the entire sentence is that ‘she won.’ She also left as the Trojan record holder.

I participated in the meet in my time and won… although I was on the other side as the Bruin recordholder for roughly 10 years or so. It was always so much better to meet alumni when you won. However, I picked up my two masters at Southern Cal… and that always ment a lot to me.

The latest press conference brought out a lot of ‘talk’… but the match-ups are set and all that is left is the meet. USC’s take on the meet. It’ll be a fun meet to watch.

Fight On!
