Running Lane
Matt Johnsrud SR-Woodcreek-Matt
won the 1600 at 4:11.89. "It was awesome crossing the
finish line. I really wanted to win this. I felt really
emotional when I did." Right now, Matt is scheduled
to attend American River Junior College in Sacramento next
year, although he still could go elsewhere if opportunity
calls.
1600 winners: (From Left) 6th Liza Pasciuto,
1st Shannon Rowbury, 2nd Jenny Aldridge. Shannon finished
with a time of 4:52.77, a nationally ranked time. She has
been running since her freshman year and has steadily improved.
Next year she will be at Duke University. Jenny finished
with a time of 4:55.94. She will be at Arizona State next
year. This was a rough race for Liza. She was tripped, spiked
and went down. But that did not stop her. She got up and
finished 6th. Liza is a sophomore, so she will be back next
year.
Shannon Roxbury with Coach Andy Chan.
Shannon thinks the world of Andy and attributes much of
her success to him. Likewise, Andy thinks the world of Shannon
and presented Shannon with a goodbye CD of songs that signify
her high school career.
More 1600 winners: 3rd place Lauren Mulkey
(l) and 4th place Lindsay Allen
Jamillah Titus SR Vintage-Jamillah

close finish. Carl will be at Stanford next year.
Shalonda Solomon SO Long Beach
Poly. Shalonda was 2nd in the 100. One of these days she
thinks she'll finish first. That is a bit difficult with
Allyson Felix running the same race. But she got her satisfaction
with big wins for Poly in both relays.
Matt Bruno SR Trabuco Hills with
Coaches Steve Miller (l) and Mark Royster. Matt had quite a day winning both
the 100 and 200.
Thomas Mack JR Bakersfield-Thomas

Sportsmanship-Citizen Honoree medal.
