Under the tutelage of throw coach Dan Lange, earlier named the Women's Assistant Coach of the Year for the West Region, sophomore Jenny Ozorai and senior Marissa Minderler earned All-American honors at the NCAA Championships today by finishing fourth and eighth respectively. On the strength of the throwers, USC women's track and field is in 15th place after two days.
"It was just a magical year," said Lange. "It couldn't have been more special. To have three girls who took completely different routes to get here and accomplish what they did this year, it will be a long time before it is topped in my group and then to have two finish here as All-Americans. Jenny learned how to compete this season and I thought she did a really good job competing here as did Marissa. The future looks good for Jenny."

Aaron Brown's redemption run headlined the men's stories on day two. After a disappointing performance in the 100m by the Pac-12 champion, the sophomore responded by qualifying for the 200m finals. The Canadian ran the third fastest time overall and a wind-aided personal record of 20.44.
