This weekend's competition marked momentous firsts and lasts for the Bears. Competing in the weight throw, decorated senior Camryn Rogers took on the circle for the final time of her collegiate career.

Representing the Bears in Albuquerque this weekend will be seniors Camryn Rogers and Hakim McMorris. In the women’s weight throw and men’s heptathlon, these two seniors will face off against the nation’s best athletes.

Battling at the penultimate meet of the indoor season, junior Jada Hicks and sophomore David Foster earned two program records. Many Bears did not make the cut for nationals, but notable performances were still seen across the board.

On Friday and Saturday, Cal will face an array of tough competition in Seattle, Washington at its penultimate meet of the indoor season before heading to nationals.

This weekend Cal excelled in New Mexico with sophomore athletes dominating across events and making history.

Cal’s roster this season, which includes nearly 40 newcomers, looks set to continue to make track and field history. It will be put to the test for the first time in the High Desert on Friday.

The lineup reveals an obvious weak spot: Not a single member of Cal’s distance squad qualified for NCAA championships.

At the Pac-12 championships held May 13-15 in Eugene, Oregon, Cal track and field qualified 32 athletes for regionals — the highest number in program history.

This season the Bears have already shown that they can rise to the challenge of strong in-conference competition.
