LOS ANGELES - The USC men's and women's track and field teams will host six other schools on campus at Cromwell Track & Field Stadium on Saturday (March 6) as part of the Trojan Invitational. Pacific-10 Conference rival California heads the list of opponents, which also includes Long Beach State, Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Northridge, Cal State Bakersfield and Cal Poly Pomona.
Competiton is scheduled to begin at noon.
USC, history's most successful men's track and field program, owns an unprecedented 26 NCAA Outdoor Championships (and two indoor titles). According to Track & Field News, the 1999 USC men's team might add to that championship total this year as the magazine tabbed the Trojans as the title favorite in its NCAA Preview. Leading the way for the 1999 USC men's team is defending NCAA 400-meter champion Jerome Davis.
The USC women's team, picked to finish third at the NCAAs by Track & Field News, is led by senior sprinter Torri Edwards, who clocked an 11.11 last year to tie Olympian Inger Miller's 100-meter school record.
The Trojan Invitational is the first of two home meets for USC this season. The Trojans will host UCLA for the annual dual meet between the crosstown rivals on May 1 at Cromwell Track & Field Stadium.
