February 12, 2023 | Track & Field
LOS ANGELES – UCLA Track and Field sent squads to compete the Don Kirby Elite Invitational, the Husky Classic and the David Hemery Valentine Invitational.
Junior Ronan McMahon-Staggs followed up his last stellar mile performance with another sub-four-minute race, breaking his PR set just two weeks ago. McMahon-Staggs pulls away from his previous mark with a 3:56.41 at the Boston meet.
Ismail Turner joins the aforementioned Bruins atop the Indoor Top 10 list in the men's 400m dash. Turner ran a 45.94 for first place in the meet and first place all-time for UCLA's indoor track records. The senior sprinter becomes the first Bruin in indoor history to break the 46-second mark.
Turner anchored the men's 4x400m relay that finished second at Don Kirby – the relay team's 3:03.48 is good for first all-time among the Bruin indoor ranks. Myles Misener-Daley, Willington Wright, Antonie Nortje and Turner combined for the record-breaking performance in Albuquerque, N.M. this weekend.
