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 peer. 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 has coached 118 NCAA medallists and 30 Olympians. He has been a coach for three USA teams in international competition.  Jim spent 53-years coaching several generations of America’s Olympic hopefuls.  No one is more deserving of having a track meet baring his name and for that meet to be a worthy legacy.
