SAN FRANCISCO – For the second consecutive week, Alyssa Wilson of the UCLA track & field team garnered Pac-12 Outdoor Track & Field Athlete of the Week honors.
A sophomore out of Jackson, N.J., Wilson recorded the top shot put mark in the NCAA at the Beach Invitational at 18.02m (59-1.50). She became just the second Bruin in program history to launch 18 meters and moved to No. 2 all-time in program history in the event. The only other Bruin to achieve 18 meters was Valeyta Atthouse, who threw 18.87m (61-10.75) at the conference championships in 1995.
Wilson also PR'ed in the discus, posting an effort of 56.63m (185-9), which to date ranks 13th in the country and improves her positioning at No. 10 in the Bruin record books.
UCLA returns to action on Sunday in a dual meet at USC.
