Coach Ibarra's report: "The teams had a blast getting to know each other and training at a high level. The workouts included double days and even a triple day, water running, drills, hill bounds, core work, etc. The
fun included goal setting sessions, movies, arm and leg wrestling, games, and pillow fights!"

2005-2006 Collegiate Commitments
   

Cory Primm, the California state champion at 800m
this past June, has been working on speed. Check
here to get an update
on how he's faring these days!


Although any verbal commitments made this early for 2007 are non-binding,
UCLA continued to get a huge head start on the competition by getting
a THIRD major commitment, this one coming from California state 800m
champion Cory Primm of Westlake HS. Cory cited middle-distance coach
Eric Peterson and the UCLA atmosphere in general as reasons for his decision.
Previously, Saugus HS distance runner Shannon Murakami and JW North
sprinter Nevin Gutteriez made verbal extra-early commitments to UCLA.
