BERKELEY – Following its best outdoor season in recent memory, California track & field (No. 25 men, No. 24 women) now faces its toughest test yet against many of the nation's best teams at the Pac-12 Championships, held this year from May 13-15 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

Other ranked teams participating at the Championships include host Oregon (No. 7 men, No. 9 women), USC (No. 8 men, No. 21 women), Stanford (No. 11 men, No. 18 women), Washington (No. 19 men, No. 15 women), Arizona State (No. 22 men, No. 16 women) and Colorado (No. 25 women).

As a team, the 2022 Bears have compiled one world record, two national records, two NCAA records, four school records, one NCAA freshman record, two Cal freshman records, three facility records, eight meet records, two U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I Athlete of the Week awards and eight Pac-12 Athlete of the Week awards in the outdoor season alone. In total, they have added 30 new Top-10 marks to the all-time program record book. Additionally, for the first time in program history, two Golden Bears have made The Bowerman Watch List: Camryn Rogers, who was a semifinalist for the 2021 award, and Mykolas Alekna, the standout freshman discus thrower who currently leads the NCAA.
