UCLA Sweeps USC In Dual Track Meet

The Trojan men lost 85-78 while the women lost 90-73, snapping the Trojans’ five-year winning streak in the women’s meet. USC sprinter Bryshon Nellum won the 200-and-400 meters.

His time of 20.37 in the 200 is the fastest current NCAA time and fourth fastest time in the world this year. It is also the fourth fastest time in USC history and personal best for Nellum.
