Tritoncast

Episode 83: In this week’s Triton Spotlight, our fall sports previews continue as we get you set for the 2023 women’s volleyball and men’s water polo seasons. You’ll hear from head coaches Ricci Luyties and Matt Ustaszewski '04. They’ll tell us about the new faces on the roster, how The Big West is shaping up, and so much more. As Jeff takes us around campus, we'll learn about women's soccer's fast start and hear about the men's and women's basketball teams' adventures in Italy.

On this week's show, we're in the Tritoncast studio hanging out on YouTube with Triton track and field alum Zeinab Torabi. The 2022 grad tells us how she got into hurdles, what it was like to move around so frequently in her youth, and the hard-hitting details of her post-track meet meal. Today, Z works for the Athletics department in video production, capturing the Tritons' most memorable moments during competition. She tells Jeff about her favorite projects she's worked on so far. You'll really enjoy this week's conversation with Zeinab Torabi in this week's Triton Spotlight.

On Episode 78 of Tritoncast, we're talking Triton track and field with new coach Kim Graham-Miller. We'll discuss the challenges of taking over a storied program, just how important family is, and we'll re-live what it was like to capture a gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. UC San Diego will host the Triton Invitational this weekend, and Kim tells us what it will be like to compete at home for the first time.

Our celebration of Women's Herstory Month continues on an all-new Tritoncast. In Episode 77, we’re at Canyonview Aquatic Center to talk UC San Diego water polo with second year Triton Lucia Doak.
