UC Irvine Kicks off Big West Championships This Weekend
May 04, 2023 | Women's Track & Field
IRVINE, Calif. - The UC Irvine women's track & field team kicks off the 2023 Big West Championships with the heptathlon, May 5-6, at Cal State Fullerton's Titan Track Complex.
Β
Jolie Robinson, Chaselyn Amos, Shaelyn Amos and Laura Sangiacomo are slated to compete in this weekend's multi-event championship.
Β
Robinson enters the meet ranked second in the conference with a personal-record 5,074 points, which she set at the Mt. SAC Relays. Her score ranks eighth in program history. The Mission Viejo native is also third among UCI's all-time leaders in the long jump at 5.97m (19-7), and seventh in the javelin at 41.92m (137-6). She registered both of those top-10 marks last weekend at the Steve Scott Invitational. Robinson, a sophomore transfer from Saddleback College, was the 2022 California Community College Athletic Association state champion in the heptathlon, javelin and long jump.
Β
Twins Chaselyn and Shaelyn are in their second year as heptathletes. Earlier this season at the UCSB Invitational (March 8-9), Shaelyn registered a lifetime-best 4,306 points, while Chaselyn came in with a PR 4,155. They both rank among the top-15 in The Big West.
Β
Sangiacomo made the switch from the pole vault to the heptathlon prior to the 2023 season. She completed her first multi-event competition with 3,762 points at the Bryan Clay Invitational, April 13-14.
Β
All four Anteaters will be making their Big West heptathlon debut.
Β
The remainder of the Big West Championships are slated for May 12-13 at Titan Track Complex.
