The Southern California USATF Championship celebrates the extraordinary coaching career of Jim Bush. Jim’s success as a Southern California high school, junior college, and university coach is without peers. Fullerton High School, Kern County, CA, Bakersfield College, Occidental College, UCLA, the U.S. Track Coaches Association, and USA Track & Field have all inducted Jim into their Hall-of-Fame. Jim coached 118 NCAA medalists and 30 Olympians. He had been a coach for three USA teams in international competitions. Jim spent 53 years coaching several generations of America’s Olympic hopefuls. No one is more deserving of having a track meet bearing his name and for that meet to be a worthy legacy.
