Trojan athletes have now claimed seven weekly honors this season
USC's Angie Annelus was named the Pac-12 Women's Track Athlete of the Week and Ayden Owens was named Men's Field Athlete of the Week for the week of April 15-21, it was announced by the Conference today (April 23).
Redshirt junior sprinter Angie Annelus won the women's Invitational 200m dash with a time of 22.81 (-0.5) at the Mt. SAC Relays on April 20. She edged out Jenna Prandini (22.93) who was the 2018 USA Outdoor Track & Field 200m champion. Annelus also ran the second leg for USC's winning 4x100m relay at the Mt. SAC Relays, which posted a time of 42.93. That time ranks third on USC's all-time list and is currently 0.01 seconds behind the world lead, tops among American quartets.
The freshman Owens had an impressive two days to win the decathlon at the Bryan Clay Invitational on April 17-18. Owens, in his first collegiate decathlon, won with a school-record total of 8,130 points. His point total is also the NCAA and world-leading total and ranks seventh all-time among Pac-12 athletes. During the two days, Owens set seven personal-bests and won three events - the 100m dash, the 110m hurdles and the 400m race. Owens clinched the title by running down 2018 Pac-12 decathlon champion Harrison Williams of Stanford in the 1500m final stretch, to win the decathlon by 18 points.
