🔼 Rare Air. Following stellar showings at the NCAA West Preliminaries, both USC track and field squads slid inside the top-10 in the USTFCCCA rankings. The men’s team came in at No. 4 in the standings while the women’s team finished just inside the top 10 at No. 9. In total, 37 Trojans will head to the NCAA Outdoor Championships from June 5-8 for a chance at gold.

🔼 Staying Home. USC men’s basketball head coach Eric Musselman added his first high school prospect with the signing of California’s own Isaiah Elohim. The 6-foot-5 incoming freshman was ranked as the No. 45 player nationally by 247Sports, and the No. 12 small forward and No. 6 prospect in California.
