The Beach is coming off a sweep of the Challenge Cup last Friday at UC Santa Barbara. It is the second consecutive year, they have won both men's and women's team titles and combined now own 32 of the 56 all-time cups (men: 22, women: 10).
Individually, they had 15 event winners with eight on the men's side and seven for the women. The headliner of all of them had to be Kaitlyn Williams. The captain ran an 11.49 to win the 100m and set a new Challenge Cup meet record. The time also goes as the fourth fastest in program history.
In the national rankings, Kash Powell continues to rank among the best at fifth fastest in the men's 800m Run. Rahni Turner and her four record breaking 100m Hurdle performances now ranks 19th in the nation. Ryley Fick is the third and final in the Top 25, sitting at number 21 in the 3000m Steeplechase.
Regionally, the Beach has 20 marks in the Top 10 led by the duo of Powell and Mohamed Mohammed ranking one-two in the men's 800m. In the field, Kyle Jankans leads the West in High Jump and Novye James leads in the Triple Jump. Eleven of those marks are also tops in the Big West.
