Arcadia Summary by John Dye
Lashinda Demus & Rickey Harris take outstanding
athlete awards at 33rd Arcadia Invitational at Citrus College, Glendora CA.
Demus won her specialty 300m hurdles in 40.97 and pulled her Long Beach Wilson
4x400 relay team to a sensational come from behind victory in 3:44.23.
Harris, Centreville VA senior, won the 110 hurdles in 13.51 and the 400 in
47.04. Neither was happy. Demus wants the US record (40.44) and
Harris wants to go below 13.30.
There were plenty more stars on a picture perfect California evening that was
cool to southerners and warm to northerners. San Lorenzo Valley CA
girls, on their own record quest in the distance medley, lowered their US#1 mark
for this season to 11:55.68. It was the second 1600 meters of the
night for anchor Alejandra Barrientos, who won the individual event
earlier in 4:46.60. Long Beach Poly sr Bennie Robinson had a sprint
double in 10.41 and 21.64. Poly girls star Blessing Ufodiama took
the US lead with a 41-1.75 triple jump. The Gardena Serra CA boys
relay squad, led by Warren Rogers, doubled in 41.14 and 3:13.99. The Berkeley
CA girls took home three golds: 4x100 (46.58), 200 meters (Aisha Margain
23.85), and seeded 100 meters (Katrina Keith 11.96). Woodland sr
Jill Camarena doubled in the throws with 49-11.5 SP and 160-6 DT.
Santa Barbara sr Erica Menzel, competing in the supposedly lesser Open
division in the afternoon program, had the best girls high jump of the meet at
5-9.
