UC Irvine Meet Notes
The UC Irvine men's track & field team has two athletes traveling to Sacramento for the NCAA West Preliminary Round, May 24-26. Juniors Asa Allen (110H) and Brandon Lucas (200m) are set to represent the Anteaters at the three-day meet, which will take place at Hornet Stadium. The top-12 finishers in each individual event and relay earn a trip to the NCAA Championships, June 6-9, in Eugene, Ore.
