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.

The Monarch swimming program delivered a historic performance at the 2026 CCS Championships as both the men’s and women’s teams captured CCS team titles. The men’s team earned the program’s first ever CCS championship while the women’s team secured the program’s 12th CCS title. The achievement marks only the second time in CCS history that one school has swept both the men’s and women’s swimming championships in the same season. The Monarchs’ wide margin of victory for both teams was fueled by outstanding depth across nearly every event throughout the weekend. Junior Shareef Elaydi highlighted the meet by breaking his own CCS record in the 100 breaststroke with a winning time of 52.01 in Saturday’s finals. Additional first place finishes came from junior Enna O’Young in the girls 100 breaststroke, the women’s 200 medley relay team, the women’s 400 freestyle relay team, and the men’s 200 freestyle relay team, which also set a new CCS record with a time of 1:22.24. Congratulations to all of our swimmers and coaches, and best of luck at the State Championships this weekend.
