As expected, Cal won several Pac-12 titles this past weekend with both sexes of crew and track and field in action. What was a surprise was who.
Cal Men’s Track and Field - 4th as a team
From the historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. Cal men’s track and field surprised by scoring 79 points to finish 5th as a team. Oregon won the conference title as expected, but the Golden Bears nearly overtook distance powerhouse (perennial cross country contenders and winners) Colorado for 4th place (LA schools finished 2nd and 3rd).
As mentioned in my Golden Medals post from last Friday, Bears started the meet well with a 3rd place finish by Tyler Brendel in the decathlon last weekend.
