VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – The UCLA track & field team officially wrapped up its 2025 indoor season on Friday and Saturday at the 2025 NCAA Indoor Championships. The Bruins' highlights at the national meet included First Team All-America honors for junior Camryn O'Bannon in the men's long jump and senior Yanla Ndjip-Nyemeck in the women's 60m hurdles.
The Bruins scored 1.0 points on the women's side, tying for 54th place overall. It was the first time the UCLA women scored at NCAA Indoors since 2019. The men meanwhile compiled 2.0 points, tying for 50th place.
O'Bannon was the Bruins' standout on Friday, advancing to the final of the long jump and ultimately placing seventh with a mark of 7.65m (25-01.25) on his fifth attempt. He booked a spot in the final with a jump of 7.49 on his third and final attempt of prelims.
