Bruin Women Secure Pac-12 4x400m Relay Title
May 15, 2022 | Track & Field
Eugene, Ore. โ UCLA's women's 4x400m relay squad finished up the Pac-12 Championships in style, taking home the title to cap a three-day weekend at the Conference Meet at Hayward Field.
ย
The quartet of Catherine Leger, Kate Jendrezak, Makenzy Pierre-Webster, and Shae Anderson combined for a winning time of 3:31.49, which was a second faster than the nearest challenger, USC.
ย
The Bruin men were also impressive in the 4x4, surging from the middle of the pack to secure a second-place finish by just 14 one-hundredths of a second. Myles Misener-Daley, Seth Holloway, Ismail Turner, and Cameron Reynolds finished with a time of 3:03.53, a season-best effort and the ninth-fastest time in program history. It's the fastest time since for the program since 1999.
ย
Reynolds and Turner both split sub-45 on their respective legs in the 4x4 following strong performances in the individual 400m. Reynolds went 45.47 for a lifetime-best time and second place overall, while Turner was third at 45.65. Anderson was second in the women's competition with a time of 51.43 and Jendrezak notched a PR-time of 53.43 for eighth place and a point for the Bruins.
ย
Leger, Pierre-Webster, Maddy Doane, and Anderson combined for a time of 43.77 in the 4x100m relay, good for a podium spot in third place and the eighth-fastest time in program history.
ย
Lyvante Su'emai posted a strong performance in the discus in her first Pac-12 Meet, finishing fourth overall with a mark of 54.65 (179-3) on her fifth attempt of the day.
ย
Matthew DeRoos picked up three points for the Bruins with a lifetime-best effort in the triple jump, going 15.33m (50-03.50). Aaron Kim was UCLA's top finisher in the men's high jump, clearing 2.05m (6-08.75) on his second attempt at the height. Amber Jackson made her Pac-12 Championships debut in the high jump, clearing 1.71m (5-07.25) for a tie for fifth place overall and 3.5 points for the Bruin women.
