Bruin Hybrid Athletes was formed more or less by accident. The idea was born after suggesting that Payton, Tim, and I run a Spartan 10k on a whim. By sheer luck, our fourth founder, Steven, and I were talking in Prof. Mazzocco’s Econ 11 class (because what else is there to do in a 9 AM lecture) about weekend plans when he brought up that he had independently bought a ticket to race but no longer could due to logistical reasons. Having an extra seat in the car, Steven was destined to join us for the race.
We all raced in Pala, California, on April 13th. Following the race (which we all crushed, especially Tim), we realized this could be a real club. Since then, dealing with logistical issues and UCLA admin has been a tireless effort, but we are now pleased to bring Bruin Hybrid Athletes to you. Here’s to the start and where we go. Remember, play hard, work harder, and we hope to see you at a race soon. Remember, play hard, work harder, and we hope to see you at a race soon.
