The meet will also rebroadcasted on the Pac-12 Networks, but will be tape delayed and played on Wednesday, May 7 at 8:30 p.m.
Just like any other contest between the two schools, UCLA and USC rivalry have a history of their own when it comes to Track and Field.
@UCLATrack_Field once lost to @USC_Track_Field 33 times in a row: http://t.co/TdKvZT8Por Now maybe just 4 wins away from tying the series.

As for the UCLA Women’s Track and Field team, well, lead their series against the Women of Troy, 22-8, for your information.
The Bruins will also prepare for two different meets next weekend as the Pac-12 Track and Field Championships take place in Pullman, Washington, while the distance runners head to the Oxy Distance Carnival at Occidental College.
Go Bruins!
