Morning Buzz
Here’s reaction on how USC’s track teams pulled off a stunning sweep of UCLA at Cromwell Field.
The .500 Club
Washington defeated USC today 3-0 to even the Trojans’ record at 22-22 and 10-10 in the Pac-10.
Smith Signed
Calabasas forward Evan Smith signed his letter-of-intent with USC two weeks ago, according to his father, former UCLA and Hawaii basketball player Gavin Smith.
Big Win
Why is today’s sweep at the dual meet so significant? Because USC should really never beat UCLA in track and field.
Because track scholarships are often split in half, it costs an athlete much more to go to USC and makes it much harder to sign recruits and field a deep team for meets like today.
USC defeated UCLA for just the second time in the past 15 years in the women’s meet and third time in 15 years on the men’s side.
“The dual meet was one of the things when I came here I wanted to rekindle,” USC track coach Ron Allice said. “I don’t think we’ve ever had a team compete like this in the dual meet.”
Quote Of The Day
“They said the dual meet was dead. It’s not dead.”
