Riverside, CA—For the first time in nearly a decade, the UC Riverside Track Stadium is playing host to a multi-team event as 10 teams compete this week at the 2014 UC Riverside Spring Track Classic.
The Highlanders have hosted a dual meet with UC Santa Barbara each of the past three years since the track complex was refurbished, but the last collegiate meet held on campus involving more than two teams was on April 9, 2005. On that day, UC Riverside welcomed Northern Arizona and Cal Poly Pomona to the Inland Empire for the 2005 UCR Three-Way Meet (complete results).
This week, the Highlanders host Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Northridge, Cornell, North Dakota State, Southern Utah, Wyoming, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara and Northern Colorado. Parking is $5 on Thursday and Saturday, but free on Friday as the campus is closed due to the Cesar Chavez Day holiday.
The decathlon and heptathlon begin on Thursday, March 27 with the decathlon beginning at 11 am PT with the 100m, followed by the Long Jump, Shot Put, High Jump and 400m. The heptathlon starts at noon with the 100m Hurdles followed by the High Jump, Shot Put and 200m.
The second day of the decathlon gets underway on Friday, March 28 at 11 am with the 110m Hurdles followed by the Discus, Pole Vault, Javelin and 1,500m. The final three events in the Heptathlon begin at noon with the Long Jump followed by the Javelin and 800m. Also slated for Friday are the women's and men's hammer throw beginning at 3 pm.
On Saturday, March 29, the field events begin at 10 am with the Women's Shot Put, while the track events start at 12:55 pm with the Women's Steeple Chase. The last event of the day is the men's 1,600m relay which begins at 7:05 pm.
