"Isa has put in a lot of work and it showed out here today," said UCLA Director of Track & Field/Cross Country Avery Anderson. "To start off the season with a big personal best is awesome. I'm very happy with where she is this early in the season."

She went on to earn the event victory in the high jump, clearing a a lifetime-best mark of 1.72m (5-07.75) to secure 879 points. She later took fifth place in the shot put, taking 600 points after a toss of 11.07m (36-04.00).
