Only three women’s competitors  return from last year’s competition, including Colorado sophomore Abrianna Torres, Arizona senior Amber Passalaqua and California senior Jaci Powell. Torres is the top-returning finisher, after finishing third as a freshman in 2013. However, UCLA junior Alexis Walker, a newcomer to the event, has posted the highest score of the season, to-date. In the decathlon, nearly half the field from last year returns with six of the 13 men’s competitors taking to the track this weekend, including two-time defending champion OREGON junior Dakotah Keys. Keys ranks third in the country in the decathlon. Looking to challenge Keys is senior Viktor Fajoyomi of USC. He was fifth at last year’s league championships but also has the third-best score in the Conference this season.
