Our first Sea View League dual meet on Thursday, March 20, witnessed our varsity defeat Huntington Beach 92-44, and the junior varsity also triumphed 94-42. All 168 girls contributed, and I look forward to our next league competition at Foothill High School on Wednesday, April 2, which will lead off four consecutive Wednesday league tussles. Remember, our meet versus El Toro on Wednesday, April 9, will begin at 4:00(Field Events) and 5:00(Running Events) at THHS. This is an annual twilight confrontation at THHS with our crosstown rival that attracts far more parents and fans than usual.This past weekend saw two all-time THHS school records established. Senior
Kristin Arkin ran a 10:54.44 3200 meters at the Azusa Pacific Distance Meet
Of Champions, taking twenty-nine plus seconds off of the record ran in 2007
by current junior Lori Hoffman. Also, sophomore Monica Todd ran the 300
meter hurdles in 47.56 at the Surf City Invitational, and is all alone atop
the THHS list. Kudos to both girls. Other highlights over the weekend were
sophomore Jessica Varela's 11:28.44 3200 meters, senior Whitney Wiles long
jumped 16' 9.25", Todd long jumped 16' 8.75", and freshman Stephanie Smith
long jumped 16' .75". Congratulations to all who earned the privelege of
participating over the weekend.
