What it actually takes to run at UCLA

NCAA Division I · Big Ten · CA

UCLA signed 16 athletes for 2025-26. What follows are their real high-school marks, not a program’s published walk-on line — the honest answer to “would they recruit me?”

UCLA is a 32,423-student public campus in Los Angeles, CA and competes in the Big Ten. Joanna Hayes leads a staff of 8 covering 5 event groups.

“Median” is the middle signee’s PR; “range” runs from the fastest to the slowest mark in the class. 1500m/Mile and 3000m are converted to 1600m/3200m for comparison. Pulled from verified meet results.
