Analysis by Doug Speck

Boys 100 Meter Dash 
     One of the events everyone came for took place here.  
Kentucky's Casey Combest had been the hit of the indoor season 
with a 6.19 55m and amazing 6.57 National Record in the 60 Meter 
dash that took down a solid standard set by Deworski Odom, who 
had wowed the Arcadia crowd with a dual hurdle/100 meter win a 
few years back.  The guy who could take down Deworski's Indoor 
60m record, as Combest had, by .05 over the short 60 meter 
distance had to be special!!!  To top it, Combest had run 10.1 
hand-timed the previous weekend in Alabama.  Southern 
California's challenger, Darrell Rideaux, had won the State Meet 
last year and run 10.36 for 100 meters.  In mid-March Rideaux had 
won the National Scholastic Indoor 60 Meter event, but a full two 
tenths slower than Combest took the Ohio Nike Indoor Classic 
meet.  Local fans relished such a match-up!!
     Some great quotes would surround the affair, but we'll get 
to those soon. 
     The weather was a bit bizarre.  When the sun goes down at 
about 7:00 pm here the wind usually dies to nothing.  This 
evening a cloudy front was moving in, and it was preceded by some 
very cold weather and gusty headwinds that dropped the 
temperature quite a bit by 100 meter racetime.  Combest had his 
usual great start, with a definite lead over the first 40-50 
meters.  At 60 meters the odds were very much against Rideaux, 
but this is a USC-bound football player who is very, very strong. 
  The Poly star certainly had not given up mentally, gathering
for  a big effort over the final 40 meters, with the race
positioning  amazingly changing two full meters in a 25 meter
point between 65  and 90 meters, where Rideaux was definitely
going to be the  winner.  Combest shut it down at 85 meters,
eventually ending up  back in fifth.  Rideaux raced 10.65 into a
-1.7 meter per second  head wind, with teammate Sammie Parker
next at 10.83.  Rideaux  celebrated, turning to the sell-out
crowd, then swooping down  part of the sprint straightaway with
arms spread wide, gliding   across the lanes in celebration.  
     Combest had talked of coming in and taking down the meet 
record.  Rideaux had replied in an interview, "Welcome to the 
Lion's den."  After the race Rideaux commented, "When you go into 
the Lion's den and step on his tail, you are bound to get bit."  
Poly fans shouted to Combest as he headed down the straightaway 
after the race that he had competed well, but "it was not rabbit 
season in California at this time."  (the Poly mascot is the 
Jackrabbit).  
     It was all done in the spirit of great competition, with 
Combest at first mentioning the conditions as a factor in his 
running, then later commenting that this was just one of those 
days when he did not have it.  In his defense it was one of those 
trips where details went awry (his luggage lost at the airport, 
some transporations gliches that were not he or his father's 
making, etc.), but one sensed a "back to the drawing board" 
approach afterwards by this star who has been all the way to the 
World Junior Championship level (he brought back a silver medal 
from that meet in France last summer).  There will be other 
races.        
     With Kareem Kelly in the mix for Long Beach Poly, one 
wonders if Poly can go 1-2-3 in the State Meet 100, as National 
Outdoor Leader Albert Hollis (Christian Brothers, Sacramento), 
10.50 at Oakland Relays with an aiding 1.7 meter per second wind, 
finished fourth here at 10.97. 
Girls 100 Meters
     Wow!  The headliners did not stop yet, as a young lady 
emerged in the 100 meter event as another stunning talent in the 
sport.  During the indoor season Alexis Joyce (Washington, 
Denver) had impressed with a 7.28 60 meter dash best, within .02 
of what the famed Angela Williams achieved in the event.  Joyce 
had run 11.52 last year as a frosh, with Floridan Erica Whipple 
11.51 and 23.29 in the sprints down south.  Whipple was second in 
both sprints at the National Scholastic Indoor in Boston while 
Joyce dominated the Nike Indoor Classic group in Columbus with 
much faster times.  The duo, along with California's best this 
spring, Latrice Borders (Wilson, LB) 11.81 and 24.06, would 
battle here.  
     The contest was run under cool and breezy headwind 
conditions (-1.8 mps wind).  After an even start for the two main 
players, Joyce and Whipple, with the black-clad Floridan Whipple, 
who leans slightly forward and carries her arms fairly low with 
an amazingly quick leg turnover far up off the very tip of her 
toes, rocketing away after twenty meters to totally dominate with 
a four meter win at 11.57.  Joyce was next at 11.91 with Tania 
Woods 11.99 in third.   The crowd was kind of stunned with 
Whipple's domination, as all had witnessed a performance that  
kind of bordered on the type that Marion Jones treated locals 
with a few years back.  It was more than mildly impressive and 
the stars would meet later over 200 meters!!
