qualify for the team. Dencer was third in the 800m in a time of

5217 points as both were named to the World team. Krais will run in
the 400m hurdles at the U.S. Olympic Trials before heading to Poland
with the junior team.
Also in Columbus, Taylor Hobson finished fifth in the high jump as he
equaled his season and lifetime-best with a mark of 6-11. In the
steeple, Dylan's twin brother Spencer finished seventh in a time of
9:19.73.
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.
