HONOLULU – The University of Hawai'I track and field team heads to California, where they will be split up again between three events.

"We're looking forward to getting some good work in this week. We are four weeks out from the Big West Championships," said coach Boyce. "We are looking to refine technique and keep improving our competitiveness against some great teams from all over the country."
 
The four-day journey begins in Azusa, Calif., on Wednesday and Thursday with the Bryan Clay Invitational to highlight four athletes. Sammie Gordon, Jessica MacKenzie, Anna Marx, and Lilian Turban will be competing in the heptathlon on both days.
 
At the same time, on Thursday the 14th, the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate is taking place in Long Beach that will feature another part of the squad. Long Beach will also host the Beach Invitational from April 15-16 to cap off the weekend.
 
With the multitude of events going on, there is a lot to watch this week. Junior Alyssa Mae Antolin is coming off the fastest 200m time since 2005 at 24.03 and looks to keep that momentum coming into the week. She also claimed her first Big West Conference Player of the Week award.
 
The relay team who ran a 46.38, the fastest time in nearly four decades for UH and a mark that leads the conference, will have another opportunity at the record this weekend.
 
Freshman Lilian Turban has been jumping her way to glory as she has claimed two wins in the high jump resulting in earning two conference honors this season.
 
Senior Kate Borsz earned herself second place two weeks prior in the hammer throw for the field squad, where her divot marked 162'5".

Rounding out the squad is junior throws Kathryn Philpott who sustained an injury in 2021 and will be making her debut this weekend.
