BERKELEY -
USC took top honors in both the men's and women's hammer events Friday at the fourth-annual Brutus Hamilton Memorial Invitational at Edwards Stadium. Norvat Norbert blew away the men's competition with a throw of 225-5, while Juliana Tudjia claimed the women's crown with a mark of 200-1.
Senior Garrett Collier led all Cal athletes with a third-place finish (192-8). Cal freshman Rhuben Williams placed seventh with a PR of 181-6. On the women's side, senior Dana Lawson led the Bears with a fourth-place performance (174-7). The big surprise of the day was that Cal's All-American hammer thrower, Jennifer Joyce, fouled on all three of her preliminary attempts. Freshman Jennifer Ramos recorded a PR of 146-7 to place 11th.
The Brutus Hamilton Invite concludes tomorrow with a full slate of competition. The women's javelin kicks things off a 8:30 a.m, and competition concludes at 4:35 p.m. with the 4x400 relays.
