Eric Surprenant, Lynbrook
Sport: Track and field
Event: Hurdles
Class: Senior
Accomplishment: Surprenant continued his dominance, winning the 400 intermediate hurdles at the Stanford Invitational on Saturday in a school record time of 54.37 seconds. Surprenant has the second-best time in the Central Coast Section this year in the 110 high hurdles (14.78) and is undefeated in the 300 intermediate hurdles, where his time of 38.95 is No. 1 in the CCS and fourth in California. "Eric is having a breakout season and obviously enjoying himself," Lynbrook Coach Hank Lawson said. "He would like to break the school record (38.58) in the 300 IH, but his main goal is to make it to the finals of the state meet. With each race he seems to be getting closer, and if he makes it to the state finals the record will come."
