UC Irvine's Laura Olvera made her collegiate debut a memorable one as the redshirt freshman finished in third place out of 179 collegiate runners at the UCI Invitational.
This weekend on the conference schedule, a pair of league programs will host meets as UC Davis welcomes competitors for the Aggie Open, while UC Irvine hosts the Asics/UCI Invitational.
The Aggies season-opening event will see clubs in competition at the Putah Creek Reserve in Davis. The women’s race will feature a 6K competition, while the men will follow the women’s event with an 8K dash.
The Anteaters will welcome a multitude of programs for its annual meet, including league rivals Cal Poly and Cal State Northridge. The number of competitors is so great this year that the men’s and women’s races had to be split into two different sections just to get all the athletes in. In addition, the race will once again be run at the Anteater Recreation Center Field.
