Temi Ojora Named Pac-12 Women's Field Athlete Of The Week
May 02, 2023 | Track & Field
Wins 3 events at the USC-UCLA Dual Meet, sets meet triple jump record
 USC junior Temi Ojora was named the Pac-12 Women's Field Athlete of the Week for the week of April 24-30, it was announced by the Conference today (May 2).
Ojora helped lead the Trojans to victory over UCLA in the annual Dual Meet by winning three individual events, the high jump, long jump and triple jump. Â
Ojora won the high jump with a clearance of 5-8.75 (1.75m) and the long jump with a 20-3.00/6.17m (+0.6). She actually didn't have a miss in the high jump, but just moved on once she had won the competition.
It was Ojora's final victory which was most impressive, as she won the women's triple jump with a PR of 44-11.75/13.71m (+1.3) which bettered her third-place standing on the all-time USC list in the event. It also set the USC-UCLA Dual Meet record, breaking the old mark of 44-11.25 set by Wendy Brown in 1987. The triple jump record was the second-longest standing Dual Meet record (36 years), next to the long jump record which was set in 1985 by Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
Ojora is the fourth Trojan to earn a weekly honor this outdoor season, joining Jasmine Jones who was selected as the Pac-12 Women's Track Athlete of the Week for March 20-26, Caisja Chandler who was selected Pac-12 Women's Track Athlete of the Week for April 3-9 and Allie Jones who was selected Pac-12 Women's Field Athlete of the Week for April 10-16.
