---A huge thank you to the parents who worked the THHS Distance Carnival and Invitational. Again, thank you!!! The weekend, 102 schools and 2800 athletes, was an unmitigated success.

---Numerous bright moments over the weekend...both 4X100 teams broke school records, varsity(Tia McFarlane, Percylla Nared, Brierra Winfrey, Michelle
Wicker) winning in 48.41, and frosh-soph(Monica Ukah, Jennifer Konishi, Alexa Brown, Angelica Douglas) triumphing in 50.19, and Michelle Wicker ran
15.46 for 100 Hurdles, good for fourth, and missed the school record because of a 2.1 MPH headwind, and the allowable is 2.0.

Cassandra Smith, a freshman, won the varsity triple jump(36-3), sophomore Brierra Winfrey finished third(16-6) in the varsity long jump, and Cheryl Smith pole vaulted 10-6 to place second.

1-3 in the 400, running personal records while winning heats, Liu

---Our varsity(110-26) and frosh-soph(115-16) track and field teams easily beat Foothill last Wednesday...and we now set our sights on El Toro...Wednesday, April 15, the same day as team pictures(2:30) on the turf field. First field event is 4:30, running events at 5:00, in our annual evening affair at THHS. Both girls and boys' cometitions are essentially for Sea View League titles, and we look forward to the match-up. Expect your daughter to be at THHS until 9:30...

---Thirty-eight sprinters, hurdlers, and jumpers have been notified of Easter Break practices...Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday...April 7, 8, 9...8:00-10:00am, at THHS. Any questions, email me, or call(562)3559474, or contact your event specific coach. Yes, Monday is an off-day, tough for me to say, and I will take the opportunity to watch my beloved Dodgers open the Major League Baseball season in San Diego at Petco Park...

---Our girls' varsity track and field team is ranked #2 in Orange County behind Dana Hills, the highest ranking in school history, and we are proud of it. A super-strong freshmen class buoyed by strong sophomore and junior classes bodes well for the future; however, our talent level will never exceed our work ethic. The day to day process is what is important, and results will be a residue of that.

---Arcadia this weekend, the Mecca of all invitationals...varsity only, and we will send twenty-one girls, the most ever. Wish us well...

---I love track and field...
