FULLERTON, Calif. – The men's and women's outdoor track and field team continues their season as they head to Los Angeles to compete in the Trojan Invitational, hosted by USC on Fri., Mar. 18 and Sat., Mar. 19.

The field is set of eight Division I programs including a trio of Big West foes with CSUN, Long Beach State and Hawai'i in addition to the host USC, BYU, San Diego State and Washington State.

Friday's events will consist of the distance carnival and the hammer and discus throws while Saturday's events will consist of all other field events and all running events.

The Titans are coming off of their annual Ben Brown Invitational where they saw a lot of personal improvements.

Last weekend, the women's 4x100 meter relay team, comprised of Jade Lewis, Tyler Hardge, Alexis Stewart and Janaya Shorty, finished in first place after a total time of 47.38, beating out the Mt. Sac relay team that finished closely behind with a time of 47.69.

The women's 4x400 meter relay team, comprised of India Owens, Alexandria Stewart, Henderson and Elizabeth Claustro also took home first with their time of 3:49.86, beating out the second place team Riverside by over 10 seconds.

Rounding out the group of first place winners is Jalen Morgan who edged out Ndoto Strong in the discus throw with his final distance of 46.92m.

The Titans saw six second-place finishers with: Darion Zimmerman – 100m dash (10.70), Thaddeus Smith – 400m dash (47.19), Aneesh Joshi – 110m hurdles (14.38), Ifunanya Gwacham – triple jump (11.59m), Ty'Jalayah Robertson – high jump (1.72m), Siena Morgan – pole vault (3.40m).

Smith's time of 47.19 ties the top mark in the Big West and is also the top mark in the 400m dash for the Titans this season. Joshi also improved on his 110m hurdles time from last weekend, besting the previous time of 14.50.
