BERKELEY – Less than a week after its record-breaking performance at the Cardinal Classic, California track & field is headed to San Diego for its second outdoor meet of 2023, taking on representatives from over two dozen other teams (including five Pac-12 Conference opponents) at the Aztec Invitational on March 24-25. Additional Pac-12 schools attending the meet include Arizona State, Oregon, USC, Utah and Washington.
The women’s and men’s hammer will take place on Friday starting at 2 p.m., while the next day’s events commence with the women’s long jump at 9 a.m.
Senior Amari Turner, the reigning Pac-12 Women’s Field Athlete of the Week, will compete again this weekend after setting a meet record at the Cardinal Classic with her pole vault mark of 4.27m (14-0). She currently ranks second in the nation and No. 2 in program history. Three other Golden Bears also set meet records last weekend and will travel to San Diego with the team: senior Kegan Schroeter (hammer, 69.33m/227-5), junior Jada Hicks (100m hurdles, 13.43) and sophomore David Foster (100m, 10.34).
