For Patrick McMorris, family is everything. McMorris grew up in Santa Ana in Southern California, playing youth football across Orange County. But, while he was grinding on the field, he remained true to his family, maintaining his tight-knit relationships and understanding their impact on his life.
Competing May 24-27, Cal earned 15 spots at the NCAA track and field championships in Austin, Texas. Additionally, decathlon pre-qualifier senior Hakim McMorris and 4x100m relay alternate junior Ryan Lacefield will join the team at the championships.
Competing at the Pac-12 championships, both of Cal’s teams, the men and women, took fourth place. It was none other than the Cal throwing squad that carried the team with four podium finishes.
