After closing out their regular season in Irvine last week with three top ten program marks and five event victories, the Beach has their sights set on the Big West Championships.
This weekend will only be the multis events and feature four women in the Heptathlon and three men in the Decathlon.
Earlier this season, Justice Fair and Sofia Bailey gave Long Beach State a sweep at the UC Riverside Spring Break Multis meet. Fair posted a total of 6,814 points that weekend for the top spot which ranks number two of all the Big West Decathlon competitors this season. Bailey mounted a day two comeback at UCR to finish with a winning 4,638 points which is fifth-best in the conference this season.
Hailey Fune (4,586 points) enters the weekend with the sixth highest total in the Big West. Alli Bryan (3,347 points) will also be in action as will Tayah DeSousa. DeSousa did not compete in the UCR Multis meet, but owns the eight-best indoor pentathlon mark in program history.
On the men's side, Milo Orona (6,166 points) and Temi Odugbola (5,811 points) will be competing as the trio of Beach men own the third through fifth place ranks among the league leaders.
