LOS ANGELES โ The nationally-ranked UCLA cross country teams will race on Saturday, Aug. 31 against UC Riverside in a dual meet at Shady Rest Campground in Mammoth Lakes, Calif. The meet will kick off the 2019 season under third-year Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Avery Anderson.
UCLA returns almost its entire roster from a year ago, including three All-West Region selections in Erika Adler, Christina Rice and Colin Burke. Robert Brandt, who redshirted in 2018 but when on to become the 2019 Pac-12 track & field 10K champion, is back for his senior season in Westwood. He was UCLA's top runner at the 2017 NCAA Championships, as he finished 88th overall with a 10K time of 30:34.36.
Along with Anderson, the Bruins are coached by assistants Devin Elizondo and Austin O'Neil, as well as volunteer assistant Rob Beamer.

FLASHBACK TO 2018
The 2018 campaign saw a young UCLA cross country team muster top-seven team finishes at the NCAA West Regionals in Sacramento, Calif. The women placed seventh, led by Erika Adler's 14th-place finish (19:56.5). Adler was followed by Christina Rice, who came in 23rd at 20:20.65. On the men's side, it was all Colin Burke, who clocked a time of 29:49.17 to finish 11th, helping the men take sixth place. Garrett Reynolds came in 17 spots behind at 28th with a time of 30:06.71. Adler, Rice and Burke each earned All-West Region honors.
At the Pac-12 Championships, Adler once again led the women with a 13th-place finish (20:09.6), while Rice joined her in the top 25 (20:39.2). On the men's side, Burke paced the Bruins at 11th (23:15.7), followed by Reynolds (25th; 23:40.2). The men and women placed sixth and fifth, respectively.
Adler went on to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Championships in Wisconsin, where she ultimately finished the 6K race in 21:22.5 (136th).
UCLA started the season strong, as the Bruin men won the Fresno State Invitational, while the women earned second. The Bruins were also successful off the course, reaping nine Pac-12 All-Academic selections, led by Millen Trujillo's first team recognition.
