Evie Marheineke (Class of 2025) is having an incredible freshman campaign for the UCLA Bruins! After leading her team as the top UCLA women's finisher at the NCAA West Regionals in cross country, she transitioned seamlessly to the outdoor track, clocking the 7th all-time mark in UCLA history during her very first steeplechase race at the Stanford Invitational (10:22.93). Currently ranked third in the United States for U20 athletes, Evie is now within striking distance of a top-two finish, which would punch her ticket to the World Athletics U20 Championships this August. You can watch her compete this Thursday, June 18th, at 1:20 PM at the Nike Outdoor Nationals / USATF U20 Championships in Eugene, Oregon; the live webcast will be available for free on RunnerSpace.com by simply searching for the event.
