LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Pepperdine track makes the short voyage to the campus of UCLA for two days of action from Drake Stadium. The Bob Larsen Distance Carnival begins tomorrow and Jim Bush Legends Meet Saturday.
Competition begins Friday at 11:30 a.m., with the Waves expected to participate in the evening's events. The Jim Bush Legends Meet kicks off at 9:30 a.m.

The Waves are set to make appearances in the steeplechase, 5K, 10K, 1500-meter, and a cornucopia of sprint events.
Pepperdine has competed at the Bruin-hosted meets in eight of the last ten years—the pandemic affecting the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Last season Lizzy Crawford set the outdoor 5K record at the Bob Larsen Distance Carnival (16:38.36). She looks to surpass that figure this weekend.
The team last competed two weeks ago at the AstroAI Distance Classic. Lizzy Crawford headlined the outing with an individual victory in the 5K (16:42.02). Overall, Pepperdine had nine top-ten finishers on the day.
Next weekend the orange and blue navigate north for the Stanford Invitational.
