USC on Saturday captured its third women's national outdoor track and field crown, with Anna Cockrell winning the 100 - and 400-meter hurdles titles.
Brigham Young senior Anna Camp won the 1,500 in a personal-best 4:08.53 ahead of a strong field that included Colorado’s Sage Hurta, the women’s indoor mile champion. Hurta finished second.
“I knew Sage was crazy fast, so my goal was to sit on her shoulder for a lot of the 1,500 and win,” Camp said. “My legs felt good. I was just hopeful that I could outrun her through that push.” Air Force’s Mahala Norris, who grew up in Roseburg, Ore., won the steeplechase in 9:31.79. Also, North Carolina State’s Elly Henes won the 5,000 in 15:28.05 and Virginia’s Michaela Meyer took the 800 in a personal-best 2:00.28.On Friday, Louisiana State won its first men’s team title since 2002. The USC men finished fifth.
The NCAA championship was among the first major meets at Hayward Field since it underwent an extensive renovation. The U.S. Olympic team trials get underway at Hayward next week. Sturgis is among the college athletes hoping for a spot on the team for Tokyo.
