Nov. 9, 2007

As a part of UCLA's seven-month long celebration honoring "First to 100," a student-athlete and/or coach from each of the 100 NCAA Championship teams will be honored at halftime of all home football and men's basketball games during the 2007-08 campaign. Ten total championship teams will be recognized between Friday's men's basketball game against Portland State and Saturday's football game against Arizona State. Those guests will be:

November 9 - Men's Basketball vs. Portland State
#7 - 1960 Men's Tennis (Norman Perry)
#33 - 1975 Men's Volleyball (Joe Mica)
#52 - 1984 Women's Volleyball (Liz Masakayan)
#57 - 1987 Men's Track and Field (Coach Bob Larsen and Michael Marsh)

November 10 - Football vs. Arizona State
#23 - 1971 Men's Track and Field (Wayne Collett)
#30 - 1973 Men's Track and Field (Lynnsey Guerrero)
#43 - 1982 Men's Tennis (Marcel Freeman)
#51 - 1984 Softball (Gina Holmstrom)
#79 - 1999 Men's Water Polo (Sean Kern)
#91 - 2004 Women's Gymnastics (Jamie Dantzscher)

Throughout the course of this celebration, there will be a few subtle changes to recognize our celebration and elicit questions. A few of those changes include the official "First to 100" logo being placed on the back of our football helmets, as well as the reverse color "C" in the north end zone at the Rose Bowl. The "C" is reversed because "C" is the Roman number for 100. As other sports get underway, you will notice that the "C" on our jerseys will also be reversed when the team uses block lettering on its uniform. Men's Basketball will likely be the most prominent example of that.

Congratulations to all of these individuals and teams, representing the nation's most dominant and successful athletic program. UCLA - First to 100.
