I might have jinxed it in my Golden Medals post last week when I mentioned that I was expecting more Cal Bears at the 2017 NCAA Track and Field Championship than the last year’s contingent of 4. After an injury and a couple of near misses, Cal Track and Field will be sending three representatives to the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships up in Eugene, Oregon next week (June 7th - 10th).
Bears punch one ticket each on each of the three days of the NCAA West Regional. A NCAA championship berth typically requires an athlete to be one of the top 12 at the Regional.
