Results - B-100 and 200
A good deal of the pre-meet attention in the boys sprints was focused on recent “Mr. Ohio Football” recipient Brandon Saine of Piqua, OH, but with Saine a no-show in either short sprint, the spoils were divided among a pair of California speedsters. In the 100, Jahvid Best (Salesian CA) got out well in lane 6 on Dondre McDonald (Inglewood CA) and the rest of the field, but it was McDonald coming up on the outside in lane 7 and finding just enough daylight to slip past and take the short dash, 10.58 to 10.59. Best exacted a measure of revenge in the 200, where he turned the tables on the finish order, flashing off the curve in his bright red singlet with a lead he never surrendered. Best: 21.40 for first; McDonald: 21.69 for second. G-200
If St. Elizabeth CA ninth grader Ashton Purvis ceded age and experience to Mt. Eden CA senior Cherrelle Garrett in the girls' 100 meters, she showed no such deference to her elders in the 200. After a hotly contested 100, the two dueled shoulder-to-shoulder down the homestretch before Garrett's body buckled slightly just before the line, and Purvis charged past for the 24.00 win. Garrett was only a step behind in 24.08. Both gave the impression that this was not the last battle for California sprint supremacy we'll see from them before the season is out. By Dave Devine
