Across the Bay: Cal prepares for Big Meet against Stanford
William Webster/Staff
Across the Bay and about an hour’s drive from the UC Berkeley campus is that of the blue and gold’s archrival, Stanford. The rivalry between the Bears and Cardinal has been long running, with the annual “Big Game” determining who holds bragging rights and possession of the axe for the year to follow. Unfortunately for Cal, the 2020 axe belongs to Stanford and the Bears football team must wait patiently until fall for a chance to redeem itself.
The Stanford-UC Berkeley rivalry is decades strong and extends well beyond the sport of football. Chemists at both universities race against each other to see who can discover more elements. Both schools boast a prime location for techies, given their proximity to the Silicon Valley. The contention is part of both schools’ cultures. Without it, Cal’s 2019 football victory its first in 10 years would’ve been significantly less sweet.

The ability to perform at the highest level of collegiate athletics takes years of dedication and talent unimaginable to those not familiar with the sport. Putting aside all the pressures that come with representing a team, stepping onto the field to one-up your personal best performance and challenge other formidable competitors at a selective invitational is no easy task.
Senior Camryn Rogers is a highly accomplished thrower with years of experience in the circle. As the reigning 2019 Division 1 hammer throw champion, Rogers is no stranger to the pressure of competing and thrives in the collegiate track and field environment. Rogers has collected many wins in the weight throw and hammer throw but took her talent to new heights Saturday at the West Coast Classic in Eugene, Oregon.
