COACHING STAFF
AVERY
earned First Team All-America status in each of her three events, becoming the first athlete to garner three First-Team accolades in the same meet since the First and Second teams were initiated in 2013.
ANDERSON
In his first year at the helm, Anderson helped UCLA muster USTFCCCA All-America performances in several events during the outdoor season, including first team selections in Robert Brandt (10,000m), Kendall Gustafson (heptathlon), Jessie Maduka (triple jump) and Alyssa Wilson (shot put, hammer). The UCLA track & field program also saw two student-athletes (Simon Litzell, javelin; Marian Spannowsky, javelin) earn second team honors, while Justin Stafford (hammer) and Alyssa Wilson (discus) took home honorable mention plaudits in their respective events.
Director of Track & Field and Cross Country 7th Season at UCLA UCLA ‘96
Anderson’s indoor All-Americans included: Ashlie Blake (first team, shot put), Jessie Maduka (first team, triple jump), Nate Esparza (second team, shot put), Dotun Ogundeji (second team, shot put) and Alyssa Wilson (second team, shot put). UCLA track and field alumnus Avery Anderson enters his seventh year as Director of Track & Field and Cross Country. As Director, Anderson oversees all aspects of the planning, development, and administration of the Track & Field and Cross Country programs at UCLA. He was named to the position on July 6, 2017.
During the 2018 outdoor track & field season, UCLA notched 26 Pac-12 All-Academic honorees, and the Bruins saw 24 student-athletes qualify for the NCAA West Regional Championships. At the Pac-12 Championships, the Bruins collected an individual title in the women’s triple jump, as Jessie Maduka’s mark of 13.59m (44-7) gave the Bruins their first victory in the event since 2004. UCLA also saw Simon Litzell win a Pac-12 title in the javelin, as he threw a collegiate-best 74.46m (244-3).
Anderson deftly navigated COVID protocols throughout 2021 and led the Bruins to success in both Cross Country and Track & Field. The Bruin men and women both secured cross country team victories at the Arizona Invitational (Feb. 5) and Dave Murray Invitational (Feb. 19) ahead of the Pac-12 Championships. On the track, Anderson guided Ismail Turner to an NCAA Outdoor appearance after Turner went 45.64 (t-10th in UCLA history) at West Prelims. The women’s 4x400m relay team notched an historic performance at Outdoor Nationals, finishing third overall with a school-record time of 3:25.01. Alyssa Wilson qualified for Nationals in a pair of throwing events and went on to better her school record in the hammer while competing at U.S. Trials, as she posted a mark of 73.75m (241-11) for the fourth-best collegiate performance all-time in the event. Harrison Schrage earned USTFCCCA All-America honors after a sixth-place finish in the long jump at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Ilaria Casarotto notched a new school record in the javelin, going 53.09m (174-02) to earn a podium spot at the Pac-12 Championships.
Anderson returned to his alma mater after spending nearly 20 years coaching at the NCAA Division I level. His coaching career began at CSUN, where he served as a volunteer assistant track & field coach from 1999-2001 while competing as a professional decathlete. He served in the same role at UCLA from 2001-2002 and at Kansas State from 2002-2004 before returning to CSUN for the next 13 years working in various coaching roles. Most recently, he served as the Director of Track and Field and Cross Country for CSUN from 2011-2017. Anderson’s tenure with the Matadors was marked by staggering levels of success. During his time with CSUN, Anderson led his student-athletes to 13 Big West/WAC Conference Team Titles, 91 individual conference championships, and 21 NCAA All-America honors. He also coached the only individual male NCAA Division I champions in CSUN history, in any sport, long jumpers Dashalle Andrews and Reindell Cole.
The 2021 UCLA women notched the No. 12 national ranking on the USTFCCCA poll, the highest ranking for the program since 2014.
Additionally, Anderson presided over three Big West Outdoor Championships on the women’s side (2011, 2015, and 2017). The women’s victory in 2017 extended CSUN’s record for most conference team titles on either the men’s or women’s side. Anderson was recognized for his coaching prowess when he received the 2015 and 2017 Big West Conference Women’s Track and Field Coach of the Year awards.
Anderson’s third season as Director saw the 2020 outdoor campaign canceled due to COVID-19, but his men’s and women’s squads impressed in the indoor season. The Bruins set six indoor school records in 2020 – Christina Rice (5000m), Shae Anderson (400m – 2x), women’s 4x400m relay, Alyssa Wilson (weight throw), Kenroy Higgins II (60m). Anderson guided three individuals and a pair of relay squads to NCAA Indoor qualification before the Championships were, ultimately, canceled.
In addition to his evident coaching expertise,Anderson returns to Westwood with the invaluable experience of being a two-sport student-athlete with the Bruins, as he competed in both football and track & field and understands the winning tradition of UCLA Athletics. He was a member of the NCAA runner-up 4x100m relay squad his senior season and helped UCLA take home four Pac-10 Championships. As a wide receiver from 1991-1995, Anderson competed in football for the Bruins at the highest level. His most notable season came when he helped lead UCLA to a 1993 Pac-10 title and later played in the 1994 Rose Bowl.
The UCLA women achieved a No. 15 national ranking ahead of the NCAA Indoor Championships, the highest indoor ranking for the program since 2015. The women’s squad tied for fifth at the MPSF Indoor Championships after finishing 13th in 2019. The Bruins continued to improve in Anderson’s second year at the helm. The 2019 indoor season saw the UCLA men’s squad finish second overall, the team’s highest finish since 2010. Robert Brandt doubled with victories in the 3000m (school record - 7:55.60) and 5000m while Sondre Guttormsen and Justin Stafford notched league titles in the pole vault and weight throw, respectively. Christina Rice (second place) and Ashlie Blake (third) led the Bruin women in the 5000m and shot put, respectively. Six Bruins went on to secure eight total All-America honors at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Anderson went on to play for the Indianapolis Colts during the 1996-97 season. When a back injury ended his football career, he decided to return to track & field as a decathlete. He soon became a prominent decathlete as he set the CSUN complex decathlon record to qualify for the 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials. After finishing seventh at trials, he went on to compete internationally for the United States in 2001 in the U.S. vs. Germany decathlon competition in Germany.
Anderson went on to lead the UCLA men’s squad to a dominant 102-60 victory over USC in the annual crosstown dual meet. The Bruins’ steady improvement continued through the Pac-12 Championships, as the men’s team finished second with 140 points, the highest placement since the team finished second in 2005 and the most points since UCLA won the league title in 2004. Simon Litzell picked up his second-straight Pac-12 title in the javelin while Brandt (10,000m) and Guttormsen (pole vault) each added their first-career league crowns, respectively. The UCLA women finished in eighth place with 55 points. Alyssa Wilson (discus) and Elleyse Garrett (pole vault) each picked up league titles.
In addition to receiving a Bachelor of Arts in political science from UCLA, Anderson earned his Master’s of Public Administration with honors at CSUN. His advocacy for academic success was on display during his tenure at CSUN, as his program achieved a total of 12 NCAA APR Public Recognition Awards. Anderson is married to the former Bridget Pearson, who is in her first season at UCLA as an assistant coach after coaching for 16 seasons - 12 at CSUN, four as a volunteer assistant for the Bruins. She is also a UCLA track & field alumna. The couple have two children: a son, Andy, and daughter, Avery.
Anderson would earn Pac-12 Coach of the Year honors for UCLA’s performances ahead of the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Wilson won Pac-12 Field Athlete of the Year, the first Conference individual honor for the Bruins under Anderson’s direction. Anderson also earned USTFCCCA West Region Coach of the Year honors. The Bruin men went on to finish 18th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, as Sean Lee (first team), Dotun Ogundeji (first team), and Brandt (second team) eached earned All-America honors en route to 16 points total points. It was the team’s highest point total since notching 18 in 2013. Wilson qualified in the shot put, discus, and hammer throw at NCAAs, scoring 10 points on her own to give the Bruin women a T-25 finish. She also

Bridget Anderson enters her second season as an assistant coach at UCLA after spending four years as a volunteer assistant. She is married to UCLA’s Director of Track & Field/ Cross Country Avery Anderson and assists with the Bruins’ multi and pole vault athletes.
Marshall Ackley enters his fifth season as Assistant Coach on the Bruins’ coaching staff, leading coaching operations for the jumps event group. The 2021 outdoor season notably saw Ackley guide Harrison Schrage to a Pac-12 title in the long jump, as well as the sixth-best mark in school history with a clearance of 7.97m (26-01.50) at the West Coast Classic in Arizona. Schrage also went on to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Trials in the event. Alex Enos also impressed under Ackley’s guidance, clearing seven meters for the first time as a collegian with a mark of 7.04m (23-01.25) against USC.
The 2021 season saw Anderson’s work with the pole vaulters result in three Pac-12 scorers in Kyle Brown (third place) and Tate Curran (eighth) on the men’s side and Katerina Adamiec (seventh) in her postseason debut on the women’s side. Isa Videler (5509 points) and Christina Chenault (5259 points) also both scored for the Bruins in the heptathlon at the Conference Meet, taking fifth and eighth place, respectively.
Ackley also guided three Bruin pole vaulters to scoring positions at the Pac-12 Championships: Kyle Brown (third place) and Tate Curran (eighth) place on the men’s side and Katerina Adamiec (seventh place) on the women’s side. Camryn Thomson and Mia Cervantes each cleared the 4-meter barrier with 4.01m (13-01.75) marks against the Trojans, good for season-best marks for both student-athletes.
Anderson’s work with the pentathletes and heptathletes this past indoor season had evident results for the Bruins. Isa Videler completed a pair of pentathlons in 2020, including a 3,899 point-performance at the MPSF Indoor Championships. Videler solidified her No. 5 position on the UCLA all-time pentathlon list with the the third-place finish at the league indoor meet. Isaiah Holmes competed in the heptathlon on the men’s side, finishing the season with a third-place finish at the MPSF Championships. His 5,517 points moved him into fifth place in UCLA indoor history in the event.
Ackley’s first season with the Bruins was highlighted by strong performances from studentathletes in his event groups. Harrison Schrage led the way for the Bruin men in the long jump, clearing a season-best of 7.59m (24-11.00) at the MPSF Indoor Championships for third place overall. Matthew DeRoos went 7.41m (24-03.75) for fifth place at the league indoor meet. DeRoos also picked up three top-10 finishes in the triple jump this past indoor season. On the women’s side, Ackley helped guide graduating senior Jazmin moss to a seventh-place finish in the triple jump at the MPSF Indoor Championships (11.81m, 38-09.00).
Prior to joining the Bruin track & field program, Anderson served 12 seasons on the California State University, Northridge coaching staff, where she was in charge of the Matador pole vaulters and multi-events student-athletes, and was the team’s strength and conditioning coach for the sprinters, jumpers and multi-event athletes. During her time at CSUN, Anderson helped the Matadors win a total of 10 Big West team championships between the men’s and women’s programs.
Prior to joining UCLA, Ackley served as assistant coach at UC-Davis before being promoted to Associate Head Track & Field Coach in 2016. He was the jumps/multis coach and assisted with sprints and hurdles. During his eight-year stretch in Davis, Ackley coached the Aggies to four Big West Outdoor Championships (2012, 2013, 2014, 2016). He produced 15 Big West individual champions, six NCAA Championship qualifiers (five outdoor, one indoor), 35 West preliminary qualifiers and the 2019 MPSF pentathlon champion, Erinn Beattie. The Aggies broke 17 school records under Ackley’s direction.
Conference champions coached by Anderson include pole vault titles by Krystal Quinn in 2008 and Tiana Webberley in 2010 and 2011. LaShana Verdon won a Big West muti-event title in 2006 followed by Sherrina Lofton in both 2009 and 2011 and Robert Robinson in 2010. Olympia Jewett, the UCLA track & field program’s director of operations, competed as a heptathlete under Anderson’s guidance and took home the Big West Championship in 2015. Lofton and Justin Johnson each earned All-American honors in the multi-events, and earned multiple NCAA Championship berths.
He oversaw all daily operations of the UC-Davis track & field and cross country programs while assisting with sprints, hurdles, technique, drills and conditioning. Ackley was also named the interim head cross country coach during the 2018 campaign.
Anderson also coached three all-conference performers in the javelin, including Lance Gonzales’ Big West championship in 2009.
In his competition days, Ackley was a standout competitor at Oregon, helping the Ducks to four outdoor conference championships between 2007 and 2010. He was a six-time scorer at the conference meet and earned NCAA All-America plaudits in the decathlon in 2009 and 2010, the same years that Oregon finished as the NCAA runner-up. As a sophomore, Ackley finished fifth in the decathlon at the conference championships before improving to second and third, respectively, in his final two seasons.
A 2004 graduate of UCLA, Anderson came to CSUN after serving the 2004-05 season as the head track & field coach at Hoover High School in Glendale, Calif., her alma mater. Before that, Anderson was the head cross country coach at Hoover during the 2003-04 season. The former Bridget Pearson competed in the javelin and pole vault at UCLA from 19992004. One of her career highlights was winning the Irish National Championships in 2000 in the pole vault. At Hoover High School, she was an All-American in the pole vault all four years and the California state champion in 1997. She claimed the CIF title in 1999 and went on to finish fourth at nationals. Anderson also competed in volleyball and water polo at Hoover before graduating in 1999.
One of Ackley’s most memorable moments came at the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championships. In pursuit of a second All-America award, Ackley pulled his left hamstring during the pole vault. Despite posting a no-height finish in the vault, Ackley refused to withdrawal from the decathlon and continued to compete in the last two events – the javelin throw and 1500m.
Anderson earned her Master’s Degree with Honors in Public Administration from CSUN in 2017. Anderson married Avery Anderson in 2009. The couple have a son, Andy, and a daughter, Avery.
With his leg tightly bandaged, Ackley limped around the track with determination, receiving a standing ovation from an appreciative home crowd of nearly 12,000 at Hayward Field. The final event may’ve taken him a little over seven minutes, but it was Ackley’s heart and courage that stole the show in his final collegiate meet of his career. A native of Nyssa, Ore., Ackley graduated from Oregon in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in history. He remained with the track & field program as a volunteer assistant for multis coach Harry Marra and also coached and trained alongside Ashton Eaton, the former world decathlon record holder and the reigning world record holder in the indoor heptathlon.

“I want to thank Coach Anderson for the opportunity to join his staff at UCLA,” said Rasmussen. “I am thrilled to start working with our student-athletes and coaching staff to carry on the longstanding Bruin tradition.”
Freeman comes to Westwood after spending the past two year with the University of Oklahoma. The veteran coach had five of her student-athletes qualify for the national championship competitions during her time with the Sooners. This past season, Freeman coached Kennedy Blackmon to a silver medal in the 100m dash at the NCAA outdoor national championships. Blackmon ran 10.87 in the sprint; she returned to the track to run in the 200-meter dash and crossed the line at 22.53 for second team All-America honors.
Prior to arriving in Westwood, Rasmussen served as the Associate Head Coach for Cross Country and Assistant Track and Field Coach at Sacramento State University. She joined the Hornets in July 2022. Rasmussen was the sole coach for both men’s and women’s distance programs. As a coach, Rasmussen has led student-athletes to conference podium finishes at the BIG Sky Women’s Indoor Track & Field Championships in the 800m and 4x400m relay competitions. In just one year at Sac State, Rasmussen helped 10 of her women’s runners record marks on the program’s all-time top 10 lists for the indoor and outdoor seasons. Four of her men’s student-athletes also cracked the all-time top 10 for the Hornets.
Before signing on at Oklahoma in August 2021, Freeman spent a four-year stint at the University of Virginia where she coached four All-Americans and two ACC champions. Freeman mentored sprinter Halle Hazzard to All-America honors at the 2021 NCAA Indoor Championships in the 200-meter dash.
A native of Folsom, Calif., Rasmussen went on to compete at the NCAA Division I level both in cross country and track and field at Northern Arizona University from 2017 until 2022.
Prior to her time at UVA, Freeman served as an assistant coach for sprints and hurdles at San Diego State for five seasons. In her final campaign with the Aztecs, Freeman coached four student-athletes to first-team All-America honors at the 2017 NCAA Outdoor Championships. In 2016, she assisted sprinter Ashley Henderson to a runner-up finish in the 100-meter dash at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
She earned her bachelor’s degree in biomedical science with minors in chemistry and business, graduating in May 2020 after making the dean’s list three times in her undergraduate career. Rasmussen also earned her master’s of education in human relations and a graduate certificate in ethnic studies from NAU in May 2022.
Freeman began her coaching career by spending 12 years at the University of Texas as a volunteer assistant, assistant coach and strength and conditioning coach. She worked with the Longhorn sprinters, hurdlers, jumpers and relay squads, while also managing the team’s weight training program. She helped coach four Olympians, 15 All-Americans and seven NCAA individual national champions, and was part of three national championship teams. Also a former pro, Freeman was a three-time Olympian for Jamaica, running in the 1992, 1996 and 2000 Games. She won a bronze medal in the 4x100-meter relay and reached the finals of the 100-meter hurdles in 1996, finishing sixth in the event.

HILL
Courtney Hill joined the UCLA Track and Field/Cross Country programs as the Director of Operations beginning in the fall of 2022 after serving as the Assistant Director, Travel Operations from 2019-2022 here at UCLA.
UCLA Track and Field has added Devin West to its coaching staff, Director of Track & Field / Cross Country Avery Anderson announced Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2023. West comes to Westwood with more than 15 years’ experience coaching at the collegiate level; the sprints and hurdles coach most recently spent two years with the University of Georgia men’s and women’s track programs in Athens. He will assist with UCLA’s sprints and hurdles squads.
She oversaw 13 sports, six of those being Cross Country and Track & Field. Her role allowed her to manage all things team travel, logistics and operations.
West was named an assistant coach for sprints and hurdles at Georgia in July 2021 by Director of Track and Field Caryl Smith Gilbert, giving West a second stint with the Bulldogs. While in The Peach State, West helped coach Elija Godwin and Matthew Boling to national championships at the 2023 NCAA Indoor meet; Godwin also earned a gold and bronze medal at the 2022 World Athletics Track and Field Championships, as well as his first SEC individual championship in the 400m at the 2023 indoor conference meet with West’s guidance.
Prior to her arrival at UCLA, Hill had a short stint with a company called Fusion Sport, Inc. where she specialized in Business Development & Team Operations from 2018-2019. Her most notable experience was her time spent at the USA Track & Field National Office (USATF), serving as Coordinator, Generalist in 2015 before being promoted to International Teams Coordinator from 2016 – 2018.
West, a native of Berkeley, Calif., also spent 2015-17 at Georgia as the recruiting coordinator and sprints assistant and arrived back in Athens during the 2021 summer after overseeing the sprints and hurdles program at Air Force for the 2020-21 academic year. Starting his collegiate athletic career on both the football and track teams at St. Mary’s College and then graduating from in-state Kennesaw State University, West has both recruited and coached some of the country’s best during stints at several Power 5 programs. He has signed and instructed a variety of Olympians, All-Americans, NCAA champions, conference champions and school record holders during his stops at Texas, Florida State, Arizona State, Miami, Texas Tech and others.
Hill is a former Track & Field student athlete of Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Salukis from 2008-2012 and a member of the Missouri Valley Conference. Hill specialized in the 200, 400, and 800 meters, and was lead leg for the 4x400 meter relay team. Hill competed for four-time Olympian Connie Price-Smith, who is currently the Head Coach at the University of Mississippi. Hill graduated from Southern Illinois after majoring in Sport Administration & Sport Studies. Prior to her arrival at Southern Illinois, Hill competed for four years in both Cross Country and Track & Field at Lawrence North High School. Many of her former high school and collegiate teammates have gone on to compete at both the Olympic Games and World Championships.
West guided Michelle Roca to an Academy record of 1:00.01 in the 400-meter hurdles. In fact, Air Force completed 2021 with 11 improvements to the school’s all-time record books in the sprints, hurdles and relays. West returned to the Academy coaching staff in August 2020 to begin his second stint as an assistant coach for the Falcons. West, who previously served as an assistant coach on the Falcons’ 2010-11 staff, brought a wealth of experience back to the Air Force sprints and hurdles program, following coaching stints at several Power 5 programs.
Courtney is a native of Indianapolis, Indiana and her parents, Alan and Jennett Hill are former Basketball, Football and Track & Field student-athletes. Hill’s father was inducted into the DePauw University Athletics Hall of Fame for both football and pole vault in 1994. Hill has one sibling, Preston, who competed in Football and Track & Field as well. Courtney is an active member of the Minority Opportunities Athletic Association (MOAA), resides in Los Angeles and enjoys spending time with family, friends and traveling.
Air Force thrived under West during his first stop in 2010-11. The men’s 4x400m indoor relay of Manny Smith, Anthony Delgado, Cory Engel and Chris Severino bought home the program’s first-ever Mountain West title in that event, while Bryce Bergman accounted for the Academy’s first conference championship in the 400m hurdles. Under his guidance, the Falcons also claimed four all-Mountain West accolades and made seven improvements to the Academy’s all-time standings, including 400m hurdle times by Emily Cotharn and Rachel Thomas that were previously the two fastest marks in program history. Throughout his 16-year career, West has assisted with the coaching of six Olympians, 54 All-Americans, three NCAA champions, 41 conference champions and more than 70 school record-holders. After leaving the Academy in 2011, West gained experience at several of the nation’s major Power 5 programs, where he developed a reputation as one of the best recruiters in the sport. He signed five No. 1-ranked U.S. High School studentathletes and three No. 1-ranked World Junior student-athletes, while also accounting for four Top-10 recruiting classes (Georgia, Texas Tech, Miami and Florida State). During his stint at Texas, West assisted head coach Edrick Floreal in coaching the men’s and women’s sprints and hurdles program – a group that included two program record holders (Jonathon Jones in the 400m, Micaiah Harris in the 200m) and 10 All-Americans. He also saw both the men and women place within the top 10 of the 2019 NCAA Outdoor Championships and the women’s team sweep the indoor and outdoor titles at the Big 12 Championships that year. In addition, West also assisted Floreal in coaching the 2019 USA Track and Field 100m champion, Teahna Daniels. Prior to his time in Austin, West served as an associate head coach at Arizona State University in 2018. During his stop with the Sun Devils, he helped Alethia Marrero run the second-fastest 800m time in ASU history, finish second at the PAC-12 Championships and earn second-team All-America honors. With West on the staff, Arizona State’s women finished the year ranked No. 12 in the USTFCCCA Top 25 and had a ninth-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. As previously mentioned, West spent two years as the recruiting coordinator and sprints coach for the Bulldogs (201517), where he was part of some of the most successful seasons for the women in school history. The Bulldogs finished a program-best second at the both the indoor and outdoor championships in 2017, after finishing third at both meets during his first season. He also assisted in the coaching of breakout sophomore Kendal Williams, who earned first-team All-America honors in the 60m, and oversaw a men’s sprint squad that tallied more than one-third of Georgia’s point total at the SEC Outdoor Championships. West also spent time on the coaching staffs at Texas Tech University (2014-15), the University of Miami (2013-14) and Florida State University (2011-13). During his one season with the Red Raiders, he helped the men finish second at the Big 12 Championships and ninth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, while the women finished third at the conference meet and earned a top-20 finish at the national meet. While at Miami, West coached the men’s 4x100m relay to its first regional appearance in four years and helped Artie Burns (currently with the Chicago Bears) win the ACC title and claim second-team All-America honors in the 60m hurdles. In his time with the Seminoles, he assisted the men’s 4x100m relay team to All-America honors and helped Dentarius Locke and James Harris claim berths to the NCAA Championships. West got his collegiate coaching start at Kennesaw State in 2007, and was a catalyst for the Owls’ dominant run that included four Atlantic Sun Conference titles.

DRAKE STADIUM Drake Stadium, one of the finest track and field facilities in the world, has been home to the UCLA track and field team since 1969.
The recognition plaza, which lies outside the main entry to Drake Stadium, recognizes Bruin track and field All-America selections, national champions, Olympic medalists, world champions and world record holders. The recognition area, known as Legacy Lane, highlights the rich Bruin history of men’s and women’s track and field and focuses on the legends of Bruin track and field.
In October 2019, the track at Drake Stadium was named the Betsy and Rafer Johnson Track in honor of legendary Bruin track star and humanitarian, Rafer Johnson, and his wife, Betsy. Rafer passed away in December 2020.
Since its inaugural meet on Feb. 22, 1969, Drake Stadium has been the site of numerous championship meets, including the National AAU in 1976-77-78, the Pacific-8 Championships in 1970 and 1977 and the California CIF High School meet in 1969-7177. In 1988, Drake Stadium hosted the Pacific-10 Track and Field Championships, and in 1994, the facility hosted the first-ever California-Nevada Championships. Drake Stadium again hosted the Pacific-10 Track and Field Championships in 1996 and 2005 and the Pac-12 Championships in 2015. The stadium also has been the home for UCLA women’s track teams since 1975. It was the site of the National Collegiate T&F Championships (the AIAW) in 1977.
The stadium took on a new look in1999 when it was transformed into a state-of-the-art soccer/track and field facility, adding the Frank W. Marshall Field at Drake Stadium. The stadium provides seating for 11,700 spectators. The cost of the project was $1.5 million and was made possible by a lead gift from Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy. All the money was raised from private funds; no state money was utilized. The stadium received a state-of-the-art Mondo surface in January 2014, the first phase of a multi-phase renovation plan. The blue Mondo surface placed at Drake Stadium was the latest generation of Mondo and the same surfacing used at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. UCLA also reconfigured its shot put area and expanded the high jump area.
In 1973, it was officially named Drake Stadium in honor of a legend at UCLA, Elvin C. “Ducky” Drake, who had been associated with his alma mater as a student-athlete, track coach and athletic trainer for over 60 years. Drake died in Los Angeles of a heart attack on Dec. 23, 1988. He was 85.
Phase two included an upgrade to the upper main gate to the facility, the placement of a UCLA track and field recognition area, and the installation of a new state-of-the-art video scoreboard. Entry upgrades highlight the stadium’s namesake, Ducky Drake, and integrates the facility architecturally with the UCLA campus aesthetics.

USA TRACK & FIELD HALL OF FAME BRUINS
Rafer Johnson (1974)
Kate Schmidt (1994)
Evelyn Ashford (1997)
Former world record-holder in the decathlon Rafer Johnson won the gold medal at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy. At the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, Johnson, competing with an injury, won the silver medal in the decathlon. For the remainder of his career, he would not lose another multi-event competition.
Kate Schmidt was inducted into the USA Track & Field Hall of Fame in 1994 and was UCLA’s first female inductee. Schmidt won the NCAA javelin title in 1975 (198-1).
In 1997, Evelyn Ashford was inducted into the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame. She was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 1990. Ashford ranked No. 1 in the world four times in the 100m and was the top-ranked American seven times, including four in a row from 1981-84.
In 1974, he was inducted into the National Track & Field Hall of Fame and, in 1984, was a charter inductee into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame. As a Bruin, he won conference championships in the 220y low hurdles in 1956 and in the javelin in 1958. Johnson lit the Olympic torch at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. His daughter Jenny was an All-American volleyball player for the Bruins. As a Bruin senior, his son Josh placed second (248-7) in the javelin at the 1998 USA Outdoor. Johnson currently serves as the Chairman for the Board of Directors of the Southern California Special Olympics. In 2006, Johnson was inducted into the California Sports Hall of Fame as a member of the inaugural class.
Nicknamed “Kate the Great” with good reason, she completely dominated the American women’s javelin throwing scene for a decade. She broke the American javelin record 10 times, culminating with a throw of 227’ 5” that has held up as the record for more than a quarter century. At the time, that throw was a world record and established her place on the international scene. Schmidt was third at the 1972 and 1976 Olympic Games and was also a member of the 1980 Olympic team that didn’t compete. She just missed making the 1984 team when she placed fourth at the U.S. Trials. She won seven national titles and placed in the top three in 12 of 13 national championships from 1972 to 1984.
A competitor at the 1976 Olympic Games while attending UCLA, she also competed in the 1984, 1988 and 1992 Games, winning four gold medals and a silver. She was a two-time World record holder in the 100m. While at UCLA, Ashford won four national collegiate titles in the sprints and relays and led the Bruins to the 1977 national championship. In 2003, she was named to the Board of Directors for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, and in November of 2005 was named to the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame Class of 2006.
In 2019. the track at legendary Drake Stadium was renamed The Betsy and Rafer Johnson Track at Drake Stadium in honor of Johnson and his wife. UCLA has mourned the loss of Rafer after his passing in December 2020.
Jim Bush (1987) During his tenure as UCLA’s men’s head coach from 1965-1984, Bush led the Bruins to an impressive 20-year dual meet record of 151-21-0 (.879), seven national dual meet titles, seven Pac-10 crowns and five NCAA championship team titles. In 1966, his Bruins recorded UCLA’s first ever dual meet victory over USC, winning 86-59 at the Coliseum. From 1968-88, 23 of his athletes competed in the Olympics, winning four gold, five silver and three bronze medals. In 1987, Bush was inducted into the National Track & Field Hall of Fame. In December 1996, he was inducted into the U.S. Track Coaches Association Hall of Fame. And, the following year (1997), he was inducted into the UCLA Hall of Fame. To this day, UCLA Track & Field hosts the annual Jim Bush Legends Invitational in his memory.
Florence Griffith-Joyner (1995)
Greg Foster (1998)
Florence Griffith-Joyner won the NCAA 200m championship in 1982 and the 400m title in 1983. She was a silver medalist in the 200m at the 1984 Olympics and also medaled at the 1987 World Outdoor Championships, taking second in the 200m and running on the winning 4x100m relay team. At Seoul in 1988, she won three gold medals (100m, 200m, 4x100m relay) and one silver (4x400m relay), setting a world record in the 200m. It was Flo-Jo’s golden moment and it will be tough to repeat.
Greg Foster was one of the world’s greatest hurdlers from 1981-91. He was a national collegiate champion while at UCLA in both the high hurdles (1978, ’80) and 200m (1979), and still leads the All-time Bruin chart in the high hurdles (13.22).
She still holds the women’s world record of 10.49 for 100 meters and 21.34 for 200 meters and no one has come close to threatening them. Her 10.49 at the 1988 Olympic Trials in Indianapolis was one of the most eye-popping performances in track and field history. She won the Sullivan Trophy in 1988. Flo-Jo married Al Joyner, 1984 Olympic triple jump champion, in 1987. She died on September 21, 1998 at the age of 38.

In what many consider the greatest head-to-head competition in track and field history, Mike Powell won the 1991 World Outdoor Championships men’s long jump gold medal over fellow Hall of Famer Carl Lewis by setting the world record of 8.95 meters/29 feet, 4.50 inches, in Tokyo, Japan. The mark broke the previous standard set by Bob Beamon in 1968. Powell, who also won the World Outdoor Championships gold medal in 1993, was a two-time Olympic silver medalist and six-time USA Outdoor champion. Ranked #1 in the world on four occasions, he won 34 consecutive competitions in 1993 and 1994. He was inducted into the UCLA Hall of Fame in the Class of 2020.
Kevin Young (2006)

He represented the U.S. in three Olympic Games, winning the bronze in both 1972 and ’76 and placing fourth in 1984. An 11-time national champion, Stones, who attended UCLA and Long Beach State, set his first world-record in Munich, Germany in 1973 by clearing 7-6.50. That jump also made him the first “flop” jumper to set a world high jump record. He raised the world record to 7-7 in 1976 and added another quarter inch to the record two months later. He won the Olympic Trials in 1972 and ’84. While at UCLA, Stones placed third at the 1972 NCAA Outdoor Championships. He is now one of television’s top track and field analysts.
