UCLA Women's Track & Field (Outdoor) - NCAA Championships (3)

2004 Championship

2004

In the final day of the 2004 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, held at Texas' Mike A. Myers Stadium before 14,000, the UCLA women, under 11th year head coach Jeanette Bolden, won the team title, edging defending champion LSU 69-68. For Bolden, it marked her first NCAA Outdoor crown, adding to her two NCAA Indoor titles that she won in 2001 and 2000. It's UCLA's fifth overall NCAA Outdoor Championship (NCAA-1983-82/AIAW 1977-75).

1983 Championship

1983

Jackie Joyner, Florence Griffth and Michele Bush all set NCAA records en route to winning individual titles and leading UCLA to its second consecutive national title in the NCAA meet held at the University of Houston. Joyner defended her title in the heptathlon by scoring 6365 points. Griffth ran the 400 meters in 50.94 and Bush won the 1500 in 4:19.98. Griffith also finished second in the 200 ahead of three Florida State runners. But, it was Joyner's third-place finish in the long jump, after the running events had ended, that gave the Bruins 10 points, enough to edge second-place Florida State by eight-and-a-half points.

1982 Championship

1982

Jackie Joyner and Florence Griffith won individual titles to lead the Bruins to their first NCAA women's track and field title at Brigham Young University. UCLA easily outdistanced second-place Tennessee by 27 points, avenging their 2nd place finish to Texas in the 1981 NCAA championships. Joyner set an NCAA record in the heptathlon, finished second in the long jump and ran a leg on the 1600-meter relay team that placed third. Griffith won the 200 meters and finished fifth in the 100. The two also teamed on the 400-meter relay team that finished third. Jeanette Bolden finished second in the 100 meters and ran the final leg on the 400-meter relay team.
