May 08, 2026 | Track & Field

AZUSA, Calif. — The USC track and field team competed in hurdles, jumps and distance on the first day of competition for the Trojans at the Franson Last Chance Meet. The Trojans fell short of personal bests by small margins in their respective events.

The hurdles squad kicked off the day with three Women of Troy in the 100m hurdles. Asjah Atkinson led all Trojans coming in second place out of prelims with a time of 13.48. Lillian Harden clocked the same time to slot in right behind Atkinson.

Jackson Norris represented the field events over at long jump. His best mark of 7.41m (24-3.75) came on his fifth jump, securing eighth place but narrowly missing his outdoor personal best of 7.43m.

Chase McCallum closed out the day for the Trojans in the 800m. He ran a strong 1:49.69 to place 17th.

USC will have one representative, Dajaz DeFrand, out on the track tomorrow in the women's 200m at 3:30 p.m. Live stats are available at usctrojans.com and @usc_track_field on Instagram and X.
