LOS ANGELES – Junior Jeremy Zammit of UCLA Men’s Track & Field has been selected the Student-Athlete of the Week for competitions held between April 29-May 5.
The long jumper scored the clinching points of UCLA’s dual meet win over crosstown rival USC on Sunday in dramatic fashion, as he hit an outdoor PR of 7.58m (24-10.5) on his sixth and final attempt to take the lead in the men’s long jump. That lead would hold up and UCLA scored eight points to reach a team score of 82, which proved crucial when USC won the meet-closing 4×400 relay. Zammit’s eight points helped keep the final score to 82-81 in UCLA’s favor. Paired with the women’s 92-71 win, it represented UCLA’s first dual meet sweep over USC – which entered the meet ranked No. 1 nationally on the men’s side and No. 2 on the women’s side – since 2013.
Zammit secures his first-career UCLA student-athlete of the week award.
