LOS ANGELES - The University of San Francisco's men's and women's track team will travel a small team down to Los Angeles to compete in the Rafer Johnson/Jackie Joyner Kersee Invitational, hosted by UCLA on Saturday.
The Dons will be going into the Rafer Johnson/Jackie Joyner Kersee with the goal of posting NCAA qualifying marks. The USF women will compete against very strong competition, including the No. 6 in the country, Texas A&M.
Opening her outdoor campaign in the 1,500-meter will be freshman Lea Meyer. She will be up against fellow freshman, Sammy Watson from Texas A&M, who is just one of two freshmen to be named to The Bowerman watch list. Meyer last competed in the 3,000m during the indoor season at the Husky Classic, posting a time of 9:25.00.
After taking to the track in the 1,500m, Meyer will join her USF teammates, Emma Stahr and Alena Ulrichova in the 800m an hour later. Stahr and Ulrichova, will take to the oval in Heat #1, competing against Texas A&M's Jazmine Frye, who boasts the indoor collegiate record of 2:00.69 in the 800m and finished fifth at the NCAA Indoor Championships in March.
Competing in between the two events will be Samantha Lind, who will look to best her school record time of 55.21 in the 400m.
The men will participate in the 800m and 1,500m, with school recorder holder in the 1,500m, Hugh Nicklason, leading the way for the Dons in that race. Scott Halsted, Jack Rowe and Henry Mong will all toe the line alongside Nickalson in Heat #1.
The men's 800m will cap off the event for USF as Nicklason, who holds the school record in that event as well, along with Isaias DeLeon, Scott Halsted and Henry Mong.
