A nice start to our season...wins over Tesoro for the varsity...96-35, and 95-40 for the junior varsity. First meets are typically tough from a logistical standpoint and this one was no different. Lots of girls to organize, making sure girls arrive to their events, timing races, etc. We had a girl disqualified because of a jewelry violation, and one of our top sprinters was not allowed to race because she drove herself to the meet, a violation of district policy; nevertheless, we persevered, and enjoyed the afternoon.
Multiple wins on the varsity for Michelle Wicker, Percylla Nared, Monica Todd, Jerrilynn Stanwood, and Cassandra Smith, while Brierra Winfrey, Makenna Smith, and Cheryl Smith also won events. The junior varsity saw Courtney Ringenback and Brooke Kather capture multiple events, while Angelica Douglas, Alexa Brown, Hillary Rush, Katie Howard, Monica Ukah, Amy Tolentino, Jeny Konishi, and Adrienne Liu also won competitions. Lots of personal records, too numerous to enumerate...Let's just say I was overall pleased with our collective efforts.
Selected athletes will travel to Azusa Pacific University tomorrow for the Cougar Classic hosted by Covina High School. Three per event makes for securing a seat on the 5:30am bus a tough propostion. We will return around 6:30pm. This is as deep and talented a track and field team since I began this gig six years ago with 74 athletes. Today, 191... We will continue to work hard and look forward to our first home meet versus Laguna Hills on Thursday, March 19. Thank you for your support, and GO BLUE!!!
