Mortlock, currently #16 in the NCAA, will also highlight the throws, competing in the elite section of the javelin at Mt. Sac.
Multis/Jumps:
Tarczy hopes to continue her undefeated outdoor season as she competes in the collegiate A section of the women's high jump at the Mt. Sac Relays.

The distance squad hits the Bryan Clay and Leopard Invitationals, with eyes on #7 all-time 800m runner Victoria Nino. She hopes to build upon her PR of 2:09 set at the West Coast Relays several weeks ago.
Sprints:
Ash is set to compete in both hurdle races with ambitions to break that 58 second barrier in the 400mH. She will later join Mejia Garcia, Heffernan, and Giovannini to compete in the elite section of the women's 4x400m.
Ortileb will continue a thrilling junior season at the Mt. Sac Relays running the 100m, 200m, and 4x400m.

Jackson continued to dominate with a discus win at Brutus Hamilton and her second best ever discus throw at 62.76m.
Multis squad of Ostrinski, Uzoekwe, Spaulding, and Hutton swept the multis competition at the Brutus Hamilton Invitational with Ostrinski taking the decathlon title in a new PR and the women going 1st-3rd.
Ash moved into No. 2 all-time in the 400 hurdles, running 58.08 at the Stanford Invitational.
The men's 4x400m team of Hagedorn, Ortileb, Malone, and Koesterer ran a conference leading time of 3:12.47 at the Stanford Invitational.
The women's 4x400m team of Mejia-Garcia, Heffernan, Giovannini, and Ash improved their #8 all-time mark with a blazing 3:38.93 to finish 2nd at the Stanford Invite, only losing to the Stanford quartet.
