TRACK AND FIELD / PACIFIC 10 CHAMPIONSHIPS : Laynes Wins, but Bruins Sweep

USC sprinter Jeff Laynes has been running against UCLA’s Tony Miller since they were in high school, but it wasn’t much of a rivalry. Laynes, who attended Oakland High, never beat Miller, who attended Riordan High in San Francisco.

But Laynes turned the table on Miller this year.

Laynes, the runner-up to Miller in the 100 and 200 meters at the Pacific 10 Conference track meet last year, defeated Miller in the 100 and 200 at the 1993 meet Saturday before a crowd of 5,000 at Cal’s Edwards Stadium.

The Bruin men scored 170 points in winning their second consecutive title. Distance runner Martin Keino, son of former Olympic champion Kip Keino of Kenya, led Arizona (91) to a second-place finish over USC (89.5). Keino became the first athlete in Pac-10 history to win three individual events in the same year, capturing the steeplechase on Friday and winning the 1,500 and 5,000 on Saturday.

Led by Dawn Dumble, who won the shotput and the discus for the third consecutive season, the Bruin women scored 146 points to defeat defending champion Oregon (119) and Arizona State (104).

Laynes ran the 100 in 10.28 to beat Miller, who ran a 10.36, and overtook Miller in the stretch in the 200. Laynes was timed in 20.90, with Miller second at 21.04. Miller embraced Laynes after the race.

“After he won last year I went over and hugged him, and he initiated it this year,” Laynes said. “We’re friends. Hopefully we’ll have a chance to work together this summer.”

Although Laynes defeated Miller in the 100 and the 200 at the USC-UCLA meet earlier this season, Laynes said beating Miller in the conference meet was more meaningful.

“Coming back from a defeat and having the opportunity to beat the same person that beat me last year is special.” Laynes said.

“The difference between this year and last year is that mentally I’ve grown up and I’m more determined. Also, my training was different and I got used to the system.”

The first three-time double winner in Pac-10 women’s history, Dumble won the discus with a throw of 185 feet 2 inches after winning the shotput Friday.

UCLA’s Derrick Baker, who won the long jump Friday, ran the opening leg for the Bruins’ 400-meter relay team, which came from behind to win in a season-best 39.62, and then won the 400 meters in 46.08. Baker capped the meet by anchoring UCLA’s 1,600-meter relay team to victory with a time of 3:09.18.

Ross Flowers ran the second leg for the Bruins’ 400-meter relay team and then won the 110-meter high hurdles in 13.84.

UCLA and USC had several other notable performances on the final day of the meet:

--UCLA sophomore John Godina, who won the shotput Friday, won the discus with a throw of 198-0.

--USC’s Marcus Carter, a transfer from Bakersfield College, won the 400-meter intermediate hurdles in 50.55.

--UCLA junior Roshanda Glenn overcame a stress fracture in her left leg to win the triple jump for the second consecutive year with a season-best 43-4 1/4.

--UCLA freshman Erin Blunt won the women’s 400 hurdles with a personal-best time of 57.68.
