Footballers and track
UCLA's incoming football recruiting class has a handful of highly successful track participants, and that was on display this weekend at California State High School track meet.
Receiver Nelson Rosario of El Camino of Oceanside was third in the long jump (23-1.25) and fifth in the triple jump (47-8.5). Defensive back Aaron Hester of Dominguez finished eighth in the 400 meters (48.13) and anchored the winning 4X400 relay team. Offensive lineman Jeff Baca of Mission Viejo was eighth in the shot put (56-8.5).
Also basketball signee Drew Gordon of San Jose's Archbishop Mitty finished seventh in the discus (176-6).
By the way, USC commit and UCLA target Randall Carroll of Cathedral High won the 100 and 200 meters.

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.
and you wonder why so many UCLA fans think you are a worthless journalist. if you hate UCLA so much, move on to another team brian. WHY would a ucla fan ever want to hear about "USC Commit and UCLA target"... bla bla bla.
