SEATTLE, Wash. – The UCLA track and field team wrapped up competition at the MPSF Indoor Championships Saturday at Dempsey Indoor. The men and women's team both placed fourth overall as the men recorded 65.5 points while the women tallied 62 points.
Much like how the championship started for the Bruins it concluded in the same manner with an individual win. Ida Storm set the tone with a win in the weight throw on Friday and then junior Nicholas Scarvelis closed out the meet with a victory in the shot put.
Scarvelis unleashed an indoor personal best of 64-1.25 on his last throw to win the individual title.
Also in the men's competition, sophomore Cody Crampton cleared a season best 7-0.25 to tie for second. Freshman Joe Herrera put together a solid performance in his first championship atmosphere by clocking 47.59 to win his heat and finish fourth overall in the 400m.
Junior Nick Hartle battled a physical 800m heat to place fifth overall with a time of 1:49.56. In just his second heptathlon of his collegiate career freshman Steele Wasik placed fifth with a score of 5,313 points.
Fellow freshman Leon Powell placed seventh in the 60m with a time of 6.93. Austin O'Neil posted an impressive personal best in the mile with a time of 4:04.33 to finish seventh. Also posting a personal best was freshman Idrees Bernard, who leaped 49-0.75 to place seventh in the triple jump.
For the women, senior Zibby Boyer cleared 5-9.25 to place third in the high jump. In the shot put, sophomore Torie Owers posted a mark of 50-6 to place fifth. Faith Anumba got a point in the triple jump with a leap of 39.3.25.
The Bruins will now wait for the official seeding for the NCAA Indoor National Championship. The meet will begin on Friday, March 13 in Fayetteville, Ark.
