IRVINE, Calif. - After a week off for finals, the UC Irvine men's track & field team is back in action as it heads to UCLA's Jim Bush Legends Invitational on Wednesday, March 24, before hosting the Anteater Distance Twilight on Thursday, March 25. Spectators are currently not permitted at Anteater Stadium, and the issue of fan attendance will be revisited as the season progresses.
MEET INFO
The Jim Bush Legends Invitational is a one-day meet that will be held at UCLA's Drake Stadium. The men's field events are slated to start with the javelin at 10:30 a.m., while action on the track gets underway at 1:05 p.m. with the 4x100 relay. The Anteaters have 12 student-athletes entered in nine events that include the sprints, hurdles, jumps and throws.
The distance runners will get their chance to compete on their home track as UCI is set to host the inaugural Anteater Distance Twilight which begins at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 25.
LAST TIME OUT
The 'Eaters made their return to competition two weekends ago at the season-opening Ben Brown Invitational in Fullerton (March 12-13). UCI had a strong start to the 2021 campaign with 13 top-five finishes, including two individual victories.
Senior Jack Pickard took home top honors in the javelin in his first meet since 2019. Pickard was the only competitor to surpass 200 feet with a winning toss of 205-05. Junior Josh Farmer added a third-place showing at 164-04. The Anteaters also went 1-2 in the discus with Kyle Tsu finishing ahead of the pack with a personal-record 174-08, which puts him at No. 8 in school history. Freshman Jacob Hawkins impressed in his collegiate debut with a runner-up performance (168-11). Tsu (56-02.5) and junior Noah Holm (55-11.25) contributed second and third-place finishes in the shot put.
Senior Seth Enochs claimed runner-up honors in the long jump. Enochs took the lead on his second attempt where he registered his best mark of the day at 23-11. That distance kept him at No. 1 until the sixth and final round when UCLA's Harrison Schrage stole the individual victory with a leap of 24-04.25.
On the track, junior Malcolm Overbaugh registered lifetime-bests of 22.05 in the 200m (2nd) and 48.98 in the 400m (6th). Freshman Jarel Sayles took second in the 110m hurdles, clocking in at 14.82 seconds, while Farmer was third in the 100m with a personal-record 10.77. Overbaugh, Sayles, Farmer and junior Miles Duncan also closed out the meet with a third-place showing in the 4x400 relay (3:18.44).
