Bumping this thread with the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field championship coming up June 11-14. I copy below a recent comment by Jamesy:
Apparently, no Stanford men qualified this year.
Quote:Jones and Whittaker both have realistic shots at winning the long jump and 800 m, respectively. Jones could also score in the high jump. I'm less sanguine on Mena Scatchard scoring highly in the 1500m.
Last year, we finished 6th with 29 points from 4 scoring events, Willis winning the 800 m, Kennedy 3rd in the 5k, Jones 4th in the high jump and 2nd in the long jump. Will be challenging to match that many points this year.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
