Jamere Holland’s a local hero
 
  Taft CA senior the center of attention

Judging by how many people were trying to interview him, you would have thought that Maurice Greene had just won the 100m. But it wasn’t Greene answering the questions smoothly, it was Taft senior Jamere Holland.

The wind was kicking up pretty hard so meet officials turned the sprinters around to run with the wind at their backs. The wind during the previous race was measured at 2.1m/s and seemed to be gusting quite a bit.

The gun sounded and Holland jumped out to an early lead, holding it all the way through the tape, and as the crowd waited for the time to pop up on the board Holland seemed relaxed. Then 10.37 was announced and a just legal wind reading of 1.9 m/s. It was a career best.

In the post race interview Holland talked about being out of shape. “I gained 15 pounds from last year. You can see my little belly,” he said as he pointed to his stomach. What can he do if he ever gets into shape?

Holland is the best returning 100m runner in the country as he ran 10.38 last year while Rodney Glass of Notre Dame, the 2 nd best returner in the country with his 10.43 from last year, finished 2 nd in 10.48 seconds.

And while there was a little bit of daylight between the two on this day, there will be many more chances to square off.

Was this a statement day for Holland? Was he trying to send a message to rival Glass? “I was just trying to PR and I did that so I’m happy with it. It’s like a big rivalry but we’re still friends.”

Meet Record
for Bryshon Nellum

junior runs 46.20, edges JT Scheuerman (46.24)

By Tim Fulton

The kid is special. It’s just that simple. After helping LB Poly win the 4x100 Friday night the junior took to the track for the 400m, his first of 3 races on the night.

Colorado one lapper JT Scheuerman set the pace, flying out over first 200m and really making Bryshon Nellum work. But Nellum remembered last year, when he lost on a lean in the same event, and he didn’t want that to happen again.

At the start of the final 100m, it really looked like Scheuerman was going to steal the show from the local star, but with every stride that Nellum took, the crowd got louder and the lead got shorter. Still, with less than 30m left Nellum was still behind. He dug down and found just a little more, leaned at the tape, and not only won the race, but managed a meet record in the process. Not a bad start to the night.

“Coming down the stretch I didn’t know if I was going to catch him. I just kept my strength and maintained my speed. As I got closer to the finish line I didn’t give up, I just kept going. I really wanted to win the race,” Nellum said.

“I didn’t know if he won or I won but I tried to make sure I ran as far as possible to beat him,” he added.

“I was just trying to run my race. I might have taken it out a little fast but I was just trying to do what I had to do to win,” Scheuerman said, though he added that he PR’d by half a second so he was happy. The Baylor bound senior should also be happy that his time of 46.24 now ranks him 3 rd best in meet history.

800m - Scott Crawford pops a big one
Bump up in mileage leads to huge breakthrough

By Tim Fulton

He wasn’t listed in the meet program. He didn’t lead the race for long. But when it was all said and done, Oak Ridge, CA senior Scott Crawford was the first to cross the line in 1:51.60.

After Alejandro Vargas set the early pace, hitting the 200m in 26.5 and the 400m in 54.7, the pack started coming back to him on the back stretch of the final lap. Benicia’s Richard Jones challenged on the back stretch and with 100m to go there were still four athletes who had a chance to win.

But with 75m left, Crawford, a tall, lean runner sporting a light beard, moved to the outside of lane 2 and kicked hard. His lifetime best was 1:55 scratch start/1:53 relay, but he was running like he didn’t know that. Judging by where he was after lap one, he had to have negative split the event.

After the race Crawford talked about how his training had really improved. “I got really serious with my training this year, doing some really high mileage weeks, and working on my speed a bit. I guess my training is starting to pay off.”

When told how fast he ran, Crawford said, “Wow. I was hoping for a 1:54, maybe 1:53.” The senior had been running the mile more lately. “I’m starting to think that maybe this is more my event,” he commented. Well, so is everyone else.

Boys Mile:  Coe Whets Our Appetite …

by Steve Underwood

Don’t be surprised if, before the end of the season in late June, Cabrillo (Lompoc CA) sr Michael Coe pops at least a 4:03 or 4:04 mile. Saturday, he gave a preview of what much of that race might look like. 

For most, Coe’s 4:08.14 looked like a strong, slightly erratically paced Arcadia mile victory. But it could also be viewed as practice for the great Michael Coe race of the near future. 

Between 660 and 880 yards, he took control of the race in the windy early evening conditions. To that point, the race had seen Crested Butte Academy CO Daniel Roberts and Lower Lake CA sr Mike Perez go through an initial fast 220 (29.5), but then a settling into 32.2 (61.7) and 31.3 (1:33.0). Coe passed the halfway mark in 2:04.8 – good, but nothing anyone was buzzing about.

The next 660 got some buzz – big time. Unveiling a scary tempo that looked very June-like, the powerful senior ripped through the next three half-laps in 29.9 (2:34.7), 30.8 (3:05.5), and 30.0 (3:35.5). 

A mid-race 1:30.7! Could the fans see a 4:05? 

No. As it had for Annie St. Geme and others, a hard surge had taken its toll in such conditions. The last split of 32.7 toned the final result down to 4:08.14. Very good, but only a hint of what we’re going to see from Michael Coe, one thinks. 

“The start was a little slower than I would have liked, but I made my move exactly when I wanted to,” he said. “I wish I could have had a faster last lap, but I was really feeling it in my legs.” 

Meanwhile, Roberts had a very nice runner-up effort. Off of a lot of folks’ radar screens, he showed up here with just a Florida State Relays double (4:04 1500/9:37 3200 with 2:13 last 800) that hadn’t opened any eyes and no indoor races. His dropping back in the pack during the Coe surge might have looked like it was leading to a dismal finish, but instead he ran a very strong last lap, moving back into 2nd and gaining on the leader in the stretch. He wound up at 4:10.10, 2nd only to his 4:09.45 at NON last year.

David Klech flies down the home stretch
13.97 – 35.45 hurdle double impresses all

By Tim Fulton

He had the high orange socks on his tall, thin frame. The all black uniform had the orange letters to match the hair (probably the other way around). He looks every bit the part of an elite hurdler. Oh, and by the way, he’s got a stride that eats up the track like few I’ve ever seen.

David Klech was born to hurdle. He won the 110m hurdles in 13.97 into a 1.1 m/s head wind, winning the event by .26, which is a lot in the world of 110m hurdles.

But what he did in the 300m hurdles was just plain nasty. He shot out of the blocks as if he thought he was running the 110m race and just kept going. The talk around the finish line was whether he could break the meet record of 36.28 he set here last year. Most didn’t think he could run under 36 seconds on the chilly-for-California night.

But the way he blasted the last straight away, it looked pretty clear that something special was happening. Most times in track and field, the best kids make it look easy. It can be very hard to tell if someone is running fast enough for a record. But with Klech, you could tell he was flying.

When the clock finally did stop, it said 35.45, shattering the meet record and moving Klech all the way up to US#4 all time, a mere 0.13 of a second off George Porter’s US and California record of 35.32 set in 1985.

Boys 110 Hurdles:  Klech whets our appetite too

 by Steve Underwood

When California (San Ramon CA) sr David Klech battled through an off night in the long jump while winning the short hurdle race with a very solid effort, little did most Arcadia fans know how high he would ascend on the all-time 300-meter hurdle list less than two hours later.

Indeed, the longer hurdle races are his specialty on the track, but he’s hardly shabby down the straight. With the wind beating a 1.8 path into his face, he still got a fabulous start and ducked under 14 with a fine 13.97, 0.26 seconds up on Alhambra CA jr. Zion Babb’s 14.23.

“I didn’t run quite perfect race,” he analyzed shortly thereafter. “I let up on my form somewhat in the last half. But it went really great over the first three hurdles.

“I’ve been really working on my start and focusing on my form,” he added. “My start was the weakest part of my race last year. A lot of people just think of me as an intermediate hurdler.”

Jumping Jordan
Ohio junior wins HJ in 10 round jump off

By Tim Fulton

Focus and poise. Two attributes usually reserved for seasoned veterans. But there he was in the midst of one of the longest jump offs I’ve ever seen, looking relaxed and under control. Jordan McPhersen had one heck of a day.

McPherson, a junior from Wayne, OH, had a career best of 6’07” coming into the meet. And not only did he have to overcome the long trip, nerves, and the deepest competition he’s ever seen, but he had to face a jumper from Long Beach Poly, in a jump off, practically in his back yard.

McPherson tied his career best and got more and more confident with each jump. Finally there were just two athletes over 6’08” and the jump off began. Back and forth they went as the bar went up and down from 6’08” to 6’09”. On the 8 th round hey both cleared 6’09”, and the bar went to 6’10”. They both missed. Back to 6’09”. McPhersen cleared it and waited. Poly didn’t and the battle was over.

McPhersen seemed to know just how to handle the situation. “You don’t worry about the other jumper. I was (jumping) first. My main concern was getting over the first height. If he made it, you focus on the next height. You got to zone everything out and take it one step at a time.”

Boys Throws: A Savage Double

Morse (San Diego CA) sr Darius Savage picked a great day to rack up two PRs. They were both good enough to make him the 2006 champ in both the shot and the disc. 

Savage started his day in 3rd place in the disc as his first-round 188-11 trailed Newport Harbor CA sr Bo Taylor 198-1 and El Toro CA sr Nick Robinson 194-4. Then, in the next-to-last fling of the finals, Savage launched his bomb. The platter landed 206-4 away from the ring and the large crowd surrounding the competition roared. Besides being a three foot PR for him, the throw was the first 200 footer in the USA for 2006.

Taylor followed him with a 188-7, then improved to 198-5 in round six after Savage fouled. But that’s as close as he would get. The winner would add a 200-9 in the fifth for good measure for the decisive victory.

The shot was much tighter. Savage took the lead in the first round at 58-5.5, with Ferris (Spokane WA) sr Cameron Elisara trailing in 58-0.25. Savage improved in each of the next two rounds; Elisara did as well, but couldn’t quite match the San Diegan.

Round five finally saw some 60-footers. Palm Desert jr. Joe Canavan jumped from 4th to 1st with a 60-2.25. Elisara upped the ante with 60-4.5, only to have Savage match him exactly. No one improved in the sixth, and Savage took the win based on a one-inch advantage in second-best throw. 

“The emotion he had,” said Coach and father Robert Savage when asked what it was that ignited that 200 footer in the first event. “He gave a big yell and it took off. He had good speed, good lift, good elevation. It’s good when he can bring the emotion.” 

The disc is indeed the best event for Darius, he added, but “he wants to work on the shot.”
