Austin on track future
Terrence Austin said he's not sure whether he'll continue to jump in track meets (although the season is nearing a close anyway). He still has a couple of meets - including the Pac-10 Championships - to try to make a regional-qualifying mark in the high jump. He jumped 6-8 3/4 on Saturday in his first compeition of the season, one week after spring football ended.
``It's a little up in the air right now,'' Austin said. ``I'm still beat up from football. I might take me a break this week. But, I might go to the track meet in Modesto. I just want to see how I'll feel.''
Austin said he talked to coach Rick Neuheisel, who he said encouraged him with his track and field endeavors, on Tuesday.
About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
