UCLA’s men’s track team will open its outdoor season at 1 p.m. today against Fresno State and San Diego State at Drake Stadium.
Bob Larsen will make his debut as UCLA’s coach. Larsen, a former assistant, succeeded Jim Bush, who ended a 20-year stint in the job with his retirement after the 1984 season.
Fresno State is the two-time defending Pacific Coast Athletic Assn. champion, and San Diego State placed third in last year’s Western Athletic Conference meet.
In other meets today, USC’s men will be at UC Irvine for a meet against the Anteaters and Cal Poly Pomona, and USC’s women will play host to New Mexico, Cal State Long Beach and Cal State Northridge at 11 a.m. at Cromwell Field.
