All-American sprinter Aaron Brown, also from Canada, who ranks third on USC’s all-time Enrollment: 40,000 (18,000) 100m and 200m lists, but has proved to be up for the challenge. In his fi rst outdoor indi- Nickname: Trojans vidual races at the Florida Relays on April 3, De Grasse ran the eighth-fastest 100m (10.11) Colors: Cardinal and Gold and fourth-fastest 200m (20.20) times in USC history, both legal PRs. He also ran on the Athletic Dir: Pat Haden 4x100m relay which ran the eighth-fastest time in school history of 38.97. During the indoor Dir. of T&F: Caryl Smith Gilbert season, he posted a best of 6.60 in the 60m and placed second in the 200m at the NCAA (213) 740-4201 Championships with a USC and Canadian indoor record of 20.26, both marks formerly held Coaches: David Freeman by Brown (20.53).

Dan Lange Jamie Nieto STEPTER & IUEL POSE QUITE A HURDLE FOR THE OPPOSITION - Junior Loreal Smith Jaide Stepter and sophomore Amalie Iuel currently rank second and third respectively DeeDee Trotter among college 400m hurdlers and tied for third and fi fth in the world with times of 55.83 Quincy Watts and 55.92 run at the Florida Relays on April 3. Those times also place Stepter third and Ryan Wilson Iuel fourth on USC’s all-time list and they are less than one second off the school record of Dir. of Ops: Mary Angell 54.95 run by Natasha Danvers in 2000. T&F SID: David Tuttle ACTION JACKSON - USC freshman Adoree’ Jackson not only is a starting cornerback (213) 740-8480 on the football team, but also a force in the long jump for the track and fi eld team. Jackson has a personal best of 25-5.25 (7.25m) in the long jump set at the Chandler Rotary Elite USC’s History In Track & Field Session last year, the second-farthest jump by a high school athlete in 2014. Jackson won the 2012 CIF State long jump title with a leap of 25-0.50. He also has a best 200m time of NCAA Titles: Men (26 outdoor) Men (2 indoor) 21.59. Jackson had an indoor best of 24-7.75 (7.51m) at the McCravy Memorial Invitational Women (1 outdoor) on Jan. 23 and jumped 24-4.25 (7.42m) to win the long jump at the Trojan Invitational on Last Title: Men (1976) March 21, which currently ranks tied for 39th in the country.

The preseason rankings will come out on March 23. 3/24 4/6 4/13 4/20 4/27 5/4 5/11 5/18 5/26 6/1 USC Men 7 5 5 USC Women 8 7 7 USC TRACK AND FIELD HISTORY - USC is well known as one of the most successful athletic programs in the history of the NCAA, with 122 men’s and women’s national championships. The Trojans have won far more NCAA team and individual titles combined than any other university. However, the most dominant force in USC’s slate of athletic programs is not the baseball team (12 College World Series titles) or the football squad (nine national championships) but the men’s track and fi eld program, with an unprecedented 28 NCAA titles (including nine straight, 1935-43). In fact, in the history of the NCAA, only the Oklahoma State wrestling program (31) has more national titles than USC men’s outdoor track and fi eld. Trojan athletes have dominated the track and fi eld scene for decades. From the exploits of sprinter Charlie Paddock and thrower Clarence “Bud” Houser in the 1920s and 1930s, sprinter Mel Patton in the 1940s, thrower Parry O’Brien in the 1950s,sprinter Lennox Miller and pole vaulter Bob Seagren in the 1960s, sprinter Quincy Watts in the 1980s, to four-time NCAA hammer champion Balazs Kiss (only the fi fth collegian to win four in a row) in the 1990s and World Champion hurdler Felix Sanchez in the 2000s, USC is synonymous with track and fi eld excellence. TROJAN PROGRAM IN GOOD HANDS WITH SMITH GILBERT - USC Director of Track & Field Caryl Smith Gilbert is in her second season at the helm of the Trojans’ track and fi eld program. Already she has guided the women’s team to the 2014 and 2015 MPSF indoor titles, their fi rst two seasons in the conference. The men’s team placed second at the MPSFs in 2015, their fi rst year com- peting in the conference. She has also been named the 2014 and 2015 MPSF Women’s Indoor Coach of the Year, the 2014 and 2015 USTFCCCA West Region Women’s Indoor Coach of the Year and the 2014 USTFCCCA West Region Women’s Outdoor Coach of the Year. She was named the USC Director of Track & Field on June 17, 2013, following the retirement of Ron Allice who guided the pro- gram for 19 seasons. Smith Gilbert was a six-time Conference USA Coach of the Year at Central Florida and guided them to a program- best fi fth-place fi nish at the 2013 NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships. Also in her six seasons at UCF, her athletes were named All-Americans more than 100 times and set more than 100 school records. Her team won four-straight Conference-USA titles (2010- 13), the most in conference history. UCF’s fi fth-place fi nish in 2013 was the best fi nish by a non-BCS school since 2000. Smith Gilbert went to UCF after fi ve seasons (2003-07) as an assistant coach at Tennessee and three as an assistant coach at Alabama (2000-03). TROJANS’ OLYMPIC GLORY - USC athletes of the present and past won 25 medals at the 2012 London Olympics, 12 golds, 9 silvers and 4 bronze. Six of those medal were won by USC track and fi eld athletes and Trojan track athletes have claimed 46 gold medals in Olympic competition. USC’s 25 total medals and 12 gold medals in 2012 were school records for a single Olympics, break- ing the previous highs of 24 total medals at the 1984 Los Angeles Games and 10 golds at both the 1948 London Games and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Troy’s 12 gold medals in London tied with Stanford for the most by a university in 2012. USC continued its streak of having won a gold medal at every Summer Olympics from 1912. If USC athletes had competed as a country in 2012, they would have placed sixth in the gold medal standings at the London Games and 11th in overall medals. Forty-one athletes with a USC affi li- ation competed in London (tied with Stanford for most from any U.S. university). They competed in seven sports and represented 18 countries. Twenty-four of USC’s London Olympians were women and 22 were competing in their fi rst Games. Seven coaches with USC ties served on Olympic staffs in 2012. In refl ecting on USC’s success over the years at the Olympics, it is amazing to note that a Trojan athlete has won at least one gold medal in every track and fi eld event except the 800m, 1500m, 5000m, 10000m, steeplechase, triple jump and javelin. ALL-STAR COACHING STAFF - Director of Track & Field Caryl Smith Gilbert had put together an impressive coaching staff that looks like an all-star roster. Well-decorated throws coach Dan Lange is one of the top assistants in the country and has been joined on staff by David Freeman (distances), Jaime Nieto (jumps), Loreal Smith and Quincy Watts. Also, USC has DeeDee Trotter and Ryan Wilson on staff as volunteer assistant coaches. Watts was an Olympic gold medalist in the 400m and 4x400m relay, Nieto was the 2003, 2004 and 2012 U.S. high jump champion, Trotter has an Olympic bronze medal in the 400m and two golds as part of the USA 4x400m relay team, Wilson was the 2013 USA 110m HH champion.

THE 2015 WOMEN’S TEAM - The women’s team is coming off a tie for 16th at the 2014 NCAA Outdoor T&F Championships and a second-place fi nish at the 2014 Pac-12 Championships. USC returns most everyone from that team, has the return from injury of All-American hammer thrower Jenny Ozorai and has brought in a highly ranked recruiting class which collected 10 state titles as seniors. Individual 2014 All-Americans returning are Alexandra Collatz (discus) and Tynia Gaither (100m and 200m), as well at many of the legs on the All-American 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams. At the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships freshman Ky Westbrook was second in the 60m dash, freshman Dior Hall was eighth in the 60m HH and the 4x400m relay team took third. USC’s women had six fi nishers in the top nine at the MPSF Championships and taking 2-5 in the 400m race, with all four runners setting PRs. USC features a strong and deep sprint corps, the reigning Pac-12 hurdles champions in junior Jaide Stepter and heptathlon champion in sophomore Amalie Iuel and a fast-improving middle-distance group. THE 2015 MEN’S TEAM - The men’s team tied for fourth at the 2014 NCAA Championships and placed second at the 2014 Pac- 12 Championships, but lost key All-Americans in sprinter Aaron Brown and hurdler Aleec Harris. If the 2015 indoor season is any indication, the Trojans will be just fi ne. The Trojans took second at the MPSF Indoor Championships and tied for ninth at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Junior transfer Andre De Grasse placed second at the NCAA Indoor Championships in the 200m dash with a time of 20.26 to erase Brown’s school and Canadian indoor records in the event. Redshirt senior transfer Conor McCullough tooks second in the weight throw at the indoor NCAAs with a school-record toss of 80-3.75. A strong freshman class including high jumper Randall Cunningham, 400m runner Ricky Morgan, hurdler Marquis Morris and 800m runner Robert Ford will team with improving veterans in sprinters BeeJay Lee, Bryan Mercado and Davonte Stewart and 800m runner Myles Andrews to keep the Trojans in the mix at the conference and national levels. TROJANS LEAVING THEIR MARKS - The Trojans have 25 athletes on the current team that have posted top 10 marks all-time by a Trojan, including 25 marks that rank individually or as part of a relay in USC’s all-time top 5. The following is a list of those athletes and their ranking at USC: Men Women Randall Cunningham (5th - HJ) Katerina Berdousi (8th - 3000m, 10th - 3000m SC) Andre De Grasse (8th - 100m, 4th - 200m, 8th 4x100m) Alexandra Collatz (2nd - Discus) BeeJay Lee (T-4th - 100m, 6th - 200m, 8th, 9th - 4x100m) Melia Cox (5th - Triple Jump) Conor McCullough (5th - Hammer) Kendall Ellis (9th - 400m) Bryan Mercado (8th - 4x100m) Alexis Faulknor (2nd, 5th - 4x100m) Just’N Thymes (8th - 4x100m) Tynia Gaither (T-8th -200m, 2nd, 5th - 4x100, 3rd - 4x400m) Dior Hall (8th - 100m HH) Deanna Hill (T-8th - 200m, 5th - 4x100m) Felicia Horvath (T8th - Pole Vault Amalie Iuel (4th - 400m IH, 7th - Heptathlon) Vanessa Jones (4th - 400m, 3rd, 4th, 10th - 4x400m) Akawkaw Ncha-Ndip (3rd, 4th, 10th - 4x400m) Tera Novy (3rd - Discus, 7th - Shot Put) Jenny Ozorai (2nd - Hammer) Tanya Sapa (8th - Shot Put) Kira Soderstrom (4th - 3000m SC) Jaide Stepter (3rd - 400m IH, 4th - 4x400m) Jenna Tong (3rd - 3000m SC) Ky Westbrook (5th - 4x100m) USC’S RETURNING ALL-AMERICANS - USC has six 2014 fi rst-team All-Americans on this season’s team, including Alexan- dra Collatz (women’s discus), Alexis Faulknor (women’s 4x100m), Tynia Gaither (women’s 100m, 200m, 4x100m), Vanessa Jones (4x400m), BeeJay Lee (men’s 4x100m) and Akawkaw Ncha-Ndip (4x400m). In addition, 2011-13 All-American hammer thrower Jenny Ozorai returns after missing last season due to back surgery. SCHOOL FRESHMAN RECORD HOLDERS - Kendall Ellis set the USC women’s 400m freshman record with a time of 53.01 on April 11. She joins senior teammate Alexandra Collatz who set the freshman discus throw record in 2012 (177-11) as current Trojans who hold USC outdoor freshman records. During the 2015 indoor season three USC freshman records were set: Dior Hall in the 60m HH (8.01) and Ricky Morgan in the 400m (47.14) and Robert Ford in the 800m (1:49.21). REMEMBER ME? - USC redshirt senior Conor McCullough returned to action in the indoor season, but now will take aim at an NCAA title in the men’s hammer throw. In his fi rst collegiate meet since 2012, he threw an NCAA-leading 233-7 (71.21m) to win and had four throws over 231, while only nine athletes have even thrown 220 or more feet and none over 230 feet this season. McCullough began his career at Princeton in 2010 and won the NCAA East Region hammer throw competition in 2012, but did not compete at the NCAA’s that season. McCullough enrolled at USC last year and was not able to compete, but was granted a sixth year of eligibility for this season. McCullough competed indoors this season and placed second at the NCAA Indoor Championships in the weight throw with a school-record toss of 80-3.75 (24.48m), but had not competed collegiately outdoors since winning the NCAA East Region ham- mer throw title on April 24, 2012. He has won his last nine collegiate hammer throw competitions and 10 of 12 overall since he began at Princeton in 2010. McCullough has a college-best throw of 242-10 (74.01) set on April 6, 2012. McCullough has a personal-best of 253-3 (77.20m) which he threw at the at the Edmonton International Track Classic in Edmonton, Canada on July 6, 2014. REMEMBER ME, TOO? - Three-time All-American women’s hammer thrower Jenny Ozorai had surgery in early March of 2014 to repair a disc in her back and was forced to miss the 2014 outdoor season. Ozorai placed fourth in the hammer throw at the 2013 NCAA Championships and ranks second all-time in the event by a Trojan with a best mark of 223-4 (68.08m). She also placed fourth at the 2012 NCAA Championships and sixth at the 2011 NCAA Championships in the event. Ozorai competed outdoors at the Cal State L.A. Invitational on March 6 for the fi rst time since the 2013 NCAA Championships and had a best throw of 191-8 (58.21m). She won the hammer throw competition at the Trojan Invitational with a throw of 199-4 (60.75m) on March 20, currently 21st in the country.

LEE PROVIDES TROJANS A STRONG 1-2 PUNCH IN THE SPRINTS - Senior BeeJay Lee returns for his fi nal season as the anchor of the Trojan sprint corps. Lee ranks tied for fourth all-time on USC’s 100m list with a time of 10.07 (+1.6) which he ran in winning the 2013 Pac-12 title in the event and opened up with a 10.09 (+0.3) as the top collegian at the Florida Relays on April 3. Lee continued his strong early eason showing by winning the 100m with a time of 10.16 (+0.4) at the Jim Click Shootout on April 11. In 2014, Lee placed third in the conference meet with a time of 10.45 (-1.0). Lee advanced to the 2014 NCAA Championships in the 100m dash and placed 22nd with a time of 10.38 (+0.6). Lee won the 200m with a then-PR of 20.51 at the Trojan Invitational on March 21, then ran 20.27 (+1.6) to take second at the Florida Relays and move into sixth on USC’s all-time list. He currently is second the country in the 200m and third in the 100m. Lee set indoor PRs this season of 6.61 in the 60m and 21.00 in the 200m and took 13th at the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships in the 60m dash with a time of 6.69. STEPTER POISED FOR SPECIAL SEASON - Junior hurdler Jaide Stepter opened up the 2015 season with a PR of 55.83 in the 400m IH and currently ranks second in the country and tied for third in the world. That also moves her to third on USC’s all-time list, less than a second off the school record. She followed that up with a time of 56.14 to win the 400m IH at the Jim Click Shootout on April 11. Stepter won the 2014 Pac-12 400m IH title with a then PR of 56.99. She steadily improved throughout the 2014 campaign, cutting more than 3.5 seconds off her freshman best. Stepter competed mostly in the 400m dash during the 2015 indoor season and placed second in the event at the MPSF Championships with a time of 52.89, more than a second faster than her best time entering this season. Stepter opened up in the 200m dash at the Trojan Invite and had a PR of 23.46 (+0.1) which ranks 27th in the country. 4X400M RELAY POSTS GOOD TIME IN ARIZONA - USC used a team of Kendall Ellis, Akawkaw Ncha-Ndip, Deanna Hill and Jaide Stepter to edge LSU with a winning time of 3:32.87 at the Jim Click Shootout on April 11. That time currently ranks seventh in the country. WOMEN’S 4X400M RELAY SETS SCHOOL INDOOR RECORD - USC’s 4x400m relay team of Jaide Stepter, Amalie Iuel, Kendall Ellis and Vanessa Jones placed third with a school record time of 3:29.63 at the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships in Fay- etteville, Ark. on March 14. That time was also the 11th-fastest ever run at the NCAA Indoor Championships. FOOTBALL FLAVOR - Most people are aware that USC’s star freshman cornerback/receiver Adoree’ Jackson is on the track and fi eld team competing in the long jump, but he is not the only athlete with football ties. Also, former USC running back D.J. Morgan decided to focus on track this season and compete in the hurdles. Morgan was the 110m HH champion at the 2009 IAAF World Youth Championships in Italy with a time of 13.28, then competed for the Trojans at the 2012 Pac-12 Championships and placed fi fth in the 110m HH of 14.21w. Other USC track athletes with football ties are freshman woman’s sprinter Ky Westbrook who’s father is former NFL receiver Michael Westbrook and freshman men’s high jumper Randall Cunningham is the son of former NFL great quarterback Randall Cunningham. COLLATZ HAS USC DISCUS RECORD IN HER SIGHTS - All-American senior discus thrower Alexandra Collatz entered the season less than two feet off the school record in the discus throw with a PR of 187-6 (57.15m). Kate Hutchinson is the USC record- holder in the event with a best of 189-5 (57.73) set in 2006. Collatz placed eighth in the discus throw at the 2014 NCAA Champion- ships with a toss of 174-1 (53.07m) and placed fi fth in 2013 at the NCAAs with a throw of 181-11 (55.46m). Collatz dramatically won USC’s fi rst-ever conference title in the women’s discus throw on her fi nal attempt with a mark of 184-3 (56.17m) on May 18, 2014. So far this season, Collatz has a best throw of 182-10 (55.73m) which ranks seventh in the country. Collatz also has a hammer throw PR of 185-8 (56.60m) and has a best this season of 183-7 (55.96m). NOVY ALSO HAS USC DISCUS RECORD IN SIGHTS - USC junior discus thrower Tera Novy cracked into USC’s all-time top 10 early in her freshman season and has steadily moved up the charts. In her fi rst outdoor meet of the season at the Trojan Invitational on March 20, Novy won the discus throw with a PR of 186-0 (56.69m) to better her third-place standing on USC’s all-time top 10 list. Her throw also ranks fourth in the country. The next day she placed second in the shot put with a PR of 50-0.50 (15.25m) which moved her into seventh on USC’s all-time shot put list. Novy had a previous best in the discus throw of 179-2 (54.60m) which she had in plac- ing fourth at the 2014 Pac-12 Championships. Novy has also won the discus throw competition at the California Collegiate on April 4 (182-10 and had fi ve throws of at least 175-9) and at the Jim Click Shootout (184-10). Novy competed indoors this season in the shot put and had an indoor PR of 49-11.00 (15.21m) to place seventh at the MPSF Championships on March 28. USC LOOKS TO BRING BACK THE HAMMER - The USC throws program under the direction of Dan Lange has been very strong, but none stronger than the success of the hammer throwers and this season should be no different. Due to the preseason surgery of Jenny Ozorai and the emergency apemdectomy to Remy Conatser just days before the NCAA Regionals in 2014, USC did not have a male or female athlete score in the hammer throw at the NCAA Championships for the fi rst time since 1992, ending a streak of 21 consecutive seasons with an NCAA scorer in the event. During those 21 seasons, USC claimed six hammer throw titles and had 16 fi nishes in the top three. USC has had 13 women’s hammer throwers score at the NCAAs in the past 16 seasons and has had 17 men’s athletes score in the last 22 seasons. Ozorai has been an All-American in each of her three seasons and ranks second all-time by a Trojan with a best mark of 223-4 and Conor McCullough in his fi rst competition this season threw 233-7 to move into fi fth on USC’s all-time list and take over the national lead. In addition, women’s throwers Alexandra Collatz and Tanya Sapa have both thrown over 180 feet in the event, and redshirt sophomore Erika Peyton threw 179-3 at the California Collegiate on April 4. IUEL CAN DO IT ALL, LITERALLY - Sophomore Amalie Iuel (AH-mah-lee Yule) from Oslow, Norway had a great freshman season for USC, winning the 2014 Pac-12 Heptathlon and placing fi fth in the 400m IH at the conference meet, then placing 18th in the 400m IH at the NCAA Championships. In just her second heptathlon ever, Iuel scored 5,378 points to win the Pac-12 title and move into seventh place on USC’s all-time list. Iuel clinched the title by winning the 200m with a PR of 2:12.43, becoming the fi rst Trojan since 1996 and fi rst conference freshman since 2004 to win the event. After all of the conference championships were fi nished, Iuel had dropped to 31st in the country in the event and was four spots outside of the declared athletes to qualify for the NCAA Champion- ships.
