LOS ANGELES (AP) Jim Bush, who guided UCLA to five NCAA track and field championships during his 20 years coaching the Bruins, has died. He was 90.
Bush died Monday of cancer at his home in Culver City, his wife, Francoise, said Tuesday. He had decided to stop chemotherapy treatment after a recurrence of cancer two years ago.
”I reached my goal of being 90 years old and you can’t ask for everything,” he told his wife of 36 years.
Bush coached the Bruins from 1965-84, winning five national championships and seven conference titles along the way.
