Familiar trackside voice and post-race interview guru Dixon Farmer (left) was the 1958 & 1959
California state 400m champion at Miramonte HS (NCS), and he was on hand Saturday to elicit
responses from Dorsey HS senior David Gettis after the Baylor University-bound dash phenom
blazed 45.84 (!!!) to become the first three-time California state 400m champion in history!

Ebony and Brittany... superb in quality!

Photos by Margaret Gallagher
Long Beach Wilson super sophomore Ebony Collins (far right in left photo) became the second girl
ever to win four gold medals in a single California state meet (joining Westchester's Gwen Loud from
1979) by winning the 100 (11.50), the 300LH (state-meet record 40.10), and keying the victorious 4x100
(44.84) and 4x400 relays (3:39.27), with the short race being the 5th-fastest performance in U.S. history!
At right, senior Brittany Daniels of team champion Merrill West HS was flying the friendly skies, soaring
44-01.25w to win the TJ, spanning 20-08.25 to capture the LJ, and running strong on Leg 2 in 4x1 (45.78)!


Mr. Klech is now Mr. Clutch!!!

Photo by Margaret Gallagher
California of San Ramon superstar David Klech had a very busy yet successful weekend in
winning his first state title (lifetime-best 36.06 in the intermediate hurdles), earning the
runner-up medallion in the high hurdles (lifetime legal best 13.94 in prelims), and battlin
pesky headwinds to place third in the long jump (22-05.75). David competed here as a
sophomore last year and did not score a point in his lone final, but returned in 2005 to score 24
individual points, seemingly a boys' state-meet record! (Keep in mind that scoring values were
different in the old days). Mr. Clutch saved his best for last, showing poise, maturity and focus
to record the #2 junior-class time (and #21 overall) in U.S. history! Way to go, David!!!
