LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Kayla Sepulveda was named SCIAC Women's Track & Field Newcomer of the Year on Friday, May 8.
 
The first year was a standout across three throwing events, peaking as the second-place finisher in the shot put at the SCIAC Championships last weekend.
 
Sepulveda competed across the shot put, discus and hammer throw, leading the team in each event. Over the last three weeks of the season, Sepulveda earned career-bests in each mark. Her 11.85 in the shot put is good enough for seventh all-time in Oxy program history. Her career-best in the hammer, which she set at La Verne on April 17, is Oxy's fifth-best mark.
 
Sepulveda was one of 13 All-SCIAC honorees for the Tigers at the championships while both the men's and women's teams improved from a season ago, finishing in fourth.
