USC's Caisja Chandler Named Pac-12 Women's Track Athlete Of The Week

USC graduate student Caisja Chandler was named the Pac-12 Women's Track Athlete of the Week for the week of April 3-9, it was announced by the Conference today (April 11).

In her first and only meet at Allyson Felix Field at Loker Stadium, Chandler set the facility record with a winning personal-best time of 10.99 (+1.1) at the Ron And Sharlene Allice Trojan Invitational on April 8. Her time is the fastest wind-legal time by a collegian this season and moved her into third place on USC's all-time list.

Chandler ran a leg on USC's winning 4x100m relay at the Trojan Invitational which posted a season-best time of 43.41 which ranks eighth in the country this season. She also ran on USC's 4x400m relay at the meet which achieved a season-best time of 3:26.96 which ranks third in the country and fifth on USC's all-time list.

During the indoor season, Chandler ran the second-fastest indoor 200m time in school history of 22.70 and went on to place seventh in the event at the 2023 NCAA Indoor Championships with a time of 22.74. Chandler has run 22.82 (-0.5) in the outdoor 200m this season, currently fourth in the country and just outside of USC's all-time top 10.

Chandler is the second Trojan to earn a weekly honor this outdoor season, joining Jasmine Jones who was also selected as the Pac-12 Women's Track Athlete of the Week for the Week of March 20-26.
