Track & Field Wraps Regionals With 13 Individual, Two Relay Qualifiers

Day 1 Recap
Day 2 Recap
Day 3 Recap

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Six more UCLA women and two relay squads earned NCAA qualification Saturday on final day of the NCAA West Regionals at Texas A&M’s E.B. Cushing Stadium.

After four days of competition, the Bruins’ final tally of NCAA qualifiers include 10 women’s individuals, two women’s relays, and three men’s individuals.

The Bruins to punch their tickets to nationals on Saturday included Valentina Fakrogha (high jump), Yanla Ndjip-Nyemeck (100m hurdles), Celeste Polzonetti (100m hurdles), Marie Warneke (800m), Taylor Snaer (200m), Naomi Johnson (200m), and both the 4×100 and 4×100 relay squads.

The Bruins had historically notable performances in almost every event they entered on Saturday.

Most notably, both the 4×100 and 4×100 relays had all-time performances for the Bruins.

In the first race of the day, the group of Ndjip-Nyemeck, Johnson, Kaylen Fletcher, and Snaer secured a third-place overall finish in the 4×100 with a time of 43.04, just one-hundredth of a second off their school-record pace accomplished during the USC dual meet earlier this season.

The Bruins later closed out the meet with a spectacular 4×400 relay, as the quartet of Kayla McBride, Snaer, Aly Conyers, and Johnson finished fourth with a season-best time of 3:28.18. That time was good for No. 4 all-time in the UCLA annals, and is the best in program history for a non-NCAA Championships meet.

Ndjip-Nyemeck and Polzonetti notched PRs and UCLA all-time top-10 slots in the 100m hurdles. Ndjip-Nyemeck won the second (of three) heats and was second place overall with a time of 12.82, improving her position at No. 5 in UCLA school history. Polzonetti meanwhile ran a 13.08 to finish third in her heat and secure an auto-bid into NCAAs. She also made her debut at No. 9 on the UCLA all-time top-10 list.

Shortly after the 100mH, Marie Warneke secured a PR in the 800m at 2:02.93. That time was good for No. 3 in UCLA school history, and was also third in her heat granting her an automatic qualifier into NCAAs. She was 11th overall.

Taylor Snaer also had an all-time No. 3 time of her own, going a lifetime-best 22.64 in the 200m to finished third in her heat and eighth overall en route to an auto-qualifier into NCAAs. Naomi Johnson (22.94) finished 12th to secure the final NCAAs bid from Regionals, giving UCLA its second double-qualifying event of the day and third overall for the week (women’s pole vault).

Fakrogha was the first Bruin to secure a bid on Saturday, earning a 12th place finish after clearing 1.81m (5-11.25) – tied for her second-highest jump of the year. The true freshman cleared 1.81m on her first attempt.

UCLA returns to action at the 2025 Outdoor NCAA Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. from June 11-14.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The fourth-seeded Indiana volleyball team (25-7, 14-6 B1G) will play in the Sweet 16 for just the second time in program history. The NCAA announced start times and dates for next week’s regional semifinals on Sunday (Dec. 7) afternoon. The Hoosiers will play top-seeded Texas at Gregory Gymnasium on Friday (Dec. 12) afternoon at Noon ET on ESPN.

 

Following the greatest regular season in program history, IU was awarded a top-16 national seed and the chance to host the opening two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. The Hoosiers made quick work of their first two matchups, sweeping Toledo and fifth-seeded Colorado in Bloomington to advance to the Sweet 16.

 

IU is one of five Big Ten programs remaining in the NCAA Tournament. Of the 16 schools left in the big dance, IU is one of two teams (Cal Poly) that didn’t make the big dance last year. The Hoosiers have already set a single-season program record for wins (25) and will attempt to advance to the regional final for the first time in program history.

 

The other matchup in the Austin Regional will pit second-seeded Stanford and third-seeded Wisconsin against each other. Their match will begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of IU’s. The winners of both regional semifinals will meet on Sunday (Dec. 14) afternoon for a spot in the national semifinals in Kansas City.
