April 30, 2022 | Track & Field
Men earn sweep, McArthur wins the women’s competition; Action resumes tomorrow at Loker Stadium
The USC track and field team got off to a great start in the 2022 USC-UCLA Dual Meet with Trey Knight's win in the hammer throw leading a men's sweep in the event, and Joy McArthur's win in the women's hammer throw giving the Women of Troy the early lead at the South Bay Throws Facility in Wilmington, Calif. today (April 30). The men's team leads 9-0 after one event and the women's team has a 5-4 lead over UCLA.
- Knight won the men's hammer throw with a PR of 234-6 (71.48m) which came on his first attempt. That mark betters his seventh-place standing on USC's all-time list and currently ranks fourth among NCAA throwers. Christian Johnson took second place with a throw of 216-10 (66.09m). Nikolaos Polychroniou had a season-best throw of 214-11 (65.52m) to finish third and complete the Trojan sweep.
- McArthur won the women's competition with a PR of 218-6 (66.61m). It was her third personal-best throw of the competition and bettered her fifth-place standing on USC's all-time list. Her mark also moved her from 24th to 16th on the NCAA descending order list. Summer Mosley finished fourth with a best throw of 181-3 (55.26m) and Abbey Knoll finished sixth with a personal-best mark of 125-1 (38.13).
