When the UC Davis Entomology Graduate Student Association (EGSA) rolls out the racetrack for the Roach Races on Saturday, April 28  during the campuswide UC Davis Picnic Day, this will mark the 32nd year of the popular attraction.

 Steve Schutz, then a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Bruce Eldridge (1933-2025) lab, introduced the Roach Races to the UC Davis campus, in 1992.
