2017 UC Davis Performance List
DAVIS, Calif. - Ten weekends spanned UC Davis' outdoor track & field regular season from the Cal Opener back on March 4 to the Sacramento State Open last Saturday, all in preparation for one culminating event: the Big West Conference Championships. Cal State Fullerton hosts this year's event on its Titan Track Complex this Friday and Saturday.
The Aggie women claimed last year's title for the program's fourth in the last five years, helping
Rahn Sheffield snare the league's Women's Coach of the Year award. Then UC Davis men finished fourth last year, just one point behind third-place Cal Poly. Two Aggies have the possibility of successfully defending Big West individual event championships. Senior
Rianna Goins, who captured last year's women's 800 meters with a 2:09.04 time, leads the league with the 2:05.72 she ran at the Mt. SAC Relays in mid-April.
Kyle Clancy, who already kick-started the UC Davis men with his third-place finish in the decathlon last weekend, won the 2016 high jump with his 2.12-meter effort. UC Davis also looks to repeat as the women's 4x400 relay champions.
Mikaela Adolphus,
Rochelle Nadreau,
Emma Redick and Goins closed out last year's meet with a winning 3:41.67, edging UC Riverside and Cal State Fullerton by less than a third of a second. The Aggie men enter the weekend with eight total points already in the bag, thanks to Clancy's third and
Tommy Grossman's eighth in the decathlon during the previous week's multi-event championships. The women picked up a point in the heptathlon from a relatively unlikely source: Redick. The senior from Santa Barbara is best known for her achievements in the 400 hurdles, having qualified for the NCAA West Prelims in each of the last two years, and remaining one of just five Aggies to break the one-minute barrier in that event. However, despite never having competed in a field event and only training as a heptathlete for two weeks, Redick placed eighth at last weekend's combined-event championships with a score of 4,581 -- sixth in school history. Redick enters this weekend as the Big West leader in the 400 hurdles, thanks to the 1:00.24 she ran at the UNLV Invitational on March 16. She and Goins are two of four Aggies to top the conference in their respective events heading into the championship.
Morgan Bertsch's school-record 1.78 meters (5-feet-10) in the high jump leads a 1-2 UC Davis exacta with sophomore
Erinn Beattie (1.76m/5-9.25). Similarly, the Aggies hold the top two spots in the men's triple jump, thanks to sophomore
Drew Xandrine-Anderson (15.74m/51-7.75) and senior
Basil Okoroike (15.62m/51-3). The conference meet awards points for the top eight places on a 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis, making depth a key characteristic for success in any given event. UC Davis boasts three of the Big West's top eight in three different events, all on the women's side.
Kierra Davis,
Jazmen Bunch and
Natsumi McGee rank 5-6-7 in the women's 200. Adolphus, Goins and Nadreau hold the 4-4-8 entering marks in the 400.
Stasia Kubicki,
Holly Tokar and
Danielle Steffen enter the meet at 4-4-6 on the conference's pole vault leaderboard. Besides the triple jump, the UC Davis men are positioned well for points in the 800.
Alex Grigoriev became just the fourth Aggie to surpass the 1:50 mark in the event with his 1:49.31 at Sacramento State in March, then flirted with that threshold two weeks later by running a 1:50.64 at Stanford.
Brian Thomas, better known as a 200/400 runner in his first two years, had three solid appearances in the two-lap race as a junior. His 1:51.91 at the Beach Invitational has him fifth in the Big West, three places behind Grigoriev.
