Friday Update:

By one inch, Cal freshman Mykolas Alekna was edged by Virginiaโ€™s freshman Ramos. Alekna, who set a new collegiate record at the Big Meet earlier this season, did not come close to matching that distance. Teammate Iffy Joyner finished 4th overall to give Cal two top-4 finishers.

Despite 3rd place in 3 events (long jump, 100m, 110m hurdles) and a 4th in 400m, Hakim McMorris finished 19th overall in the decathlon. He did not do well on the throwing events despite Cal being good at those.

Ezinne Abba placed 15th overall in 100m and missed out on advancing to the finals.

It is not clear what was the lineup for Cal in the womenโ€™s 4x100m relay but the squad was DQโ€™ed.

ICYMI on the front page, Camryn Rogers won Womenโ€™s Hammer again. Teammate Anna Purchase placed 7th to also earn a First Team All-American honor.

Cal has two clear favorites for NCAA titles in senior Camryn Rogers for Womenโ€™s Hammer and freshman Mykolas Alekna for Menโ€™s Discus.

By the way, both Camryn Rogers and Mykolas Alekna are on the shortlists for their respective Bowerman Award, Track and Fieldโ€™s equivalent of the Heisman Award. Both Cal Bears have already set new collegiate records this season and are expected to break those records again this week.

Grady will probably run this 4x100m semifinal instead of Abba. Should Cal advance to Saturdayโ€™s Final, expect Abba to replace Grady.
