What a difference a year makes. One year ago our varsity was pummeled byWoodbridge in a dual meet 83-53, this season we turned it around 78-58,
defeating the #2 ranked team in Orange County. Not running out of the zone in the 4X100 meter relay as we did last year certainly helped, in fact, we
ran an outstanding 49.1 with flawless stick work to win the event. Add to
that a clutch performance by Michelle Wicker in winning the 100 hurdles,
Rachel Mahler triumphing in the pole vault, Monica Todd winning the triple jump, long jump, and 300 hurdles, Percylla Nared winning the 100 meters,
running a strong second in the 200 meters, and a blistering second leg in
the 4X100 relay, and sweeps in the triple, long, and high jumps(Nicole
Miller capturing the latter) assisted our cause. Great job, girls. Also, our
junior varsity won 109-27, running their Sea View League record to 4-0, just
like the varsity.
This weekend is the Orange County Track And Field Championships at Mission
Viejo High School. Roughly thirty girls will compete, and the battle to earn
a lane or spot was fierce, since we can only enter two girls, per event, per
level. I look forward to watching the girls compete. Next week we face
Northwood on Wednesday, April 23, 3:15 is the start time, at THHS. The
following week are the Sea View League Preliminaries and Finals on Tuesday,
April 29, and May 2, at Irvine High School. We are allowed five girls per
event, plus wild cards, and we will let the girls know who is competing as
soon as we can. Thank you for your attendance at the meets, I appreciate
your support, and GO BLUE!!!
