Highlights
Wilson (Long Beach) false-started out of a super
field, with Poly (LB) and a great crew at the starting line. Lanes
5 and 7 were empty at the start. Poly (LB) was super through three
legs, with the third runner up on the anchor pretty good at the
hand-off. With a huge margin Poly won at 46.59, with Angel Perkins
(Gahr, Cerritos) moving up nicely through the field as the race
went along. The Poly team was three ninth graders and a senior.
Senior Candice Baucham led off, with frosh Chanda Picott, Shalonda
Solomon, and Jasmine Lee running the last three legs. Wow!!! mid-45's
with three frosh athletes last week at Arcadia.
Stockdale of Bakersfield loooked upset in a season best 47.28 to
win race 2, one of the best times out of the Central Section.

Highlights
By 8:30 when this event started the sun had broken
through once, but lost the war with the clouds and it was still
cool, but fairly calm, and with a good warm-up great for some two-lap
running. No surprise at the start, with Long Beach Poly and Long
Beach Wilson taking the lead, with Wilson an eight meter lead at
the end of the first lap at 66.5. The lead stretched to 20 meters
down the backstretch, with Arroyo Grande moving up to challenge
Poly for second at that point. With 200 to go it appeared Wilson
could be at or under 2:20 for the first leg, some good relay running!
Wilson finished at 2:21.1 at the end of the first leg, with Poly
2:25.1. Lashinda Demus, the nation's top 300 Hurdler and a former
HS National Athlete of the Year showed up on leg two for Wilson,
stretching the lead out through a 63.3 opening 400!! As Announcer
Keith Conning pointed out, Lashinda was hurting a bit on the homestretch,
but she still finsihed in 2:18.6, with Wilson 4:39.4 through two
legs, sub 9:20 pace (a 2:20 average). Wilson romped with about an
80 meter lead through the first part of leg number three, with a
63.8 second opener for Wilson on leg number three. 2:21.9 for leg
number three, with the total of 7:01.2 just over a 2:20 average.
A 65 second opening 400 for Ashley Freeman for Wilson, with Ashley
continuing unpressed through her 2:17.4. Poly anchored in 2:20.5.
Wilson was sub 9:20, in the mid 9:18's, with some competition probably
putting them 5-8 seconds faster. (Wilson team - McKenzie Hill, Lashinda
Demus, Jasmine Collins, and Ashley Freeman).

Highlights
Upland, Brea, and Etiwanda led through a 77 first
400. At 2:36.2 Etiwanda had a big lead, but Brea had a strong third
lap to move into the lead with half a lap to go. Burroughs (Burbank)
closed down right at the exchange with a 3:51.2 split for the first
two teams. Burroughs was 60.8 on the second leg, with Etiwanda and
Brea moving up to take the lead one-half lap into the 800 leg. Etiwanda
had about 150 meters on Anita Siraki and Hoover at the start of
the anchor leg. Siraki quickly cranked a 2:20 first 800 to move
into the lead and continued to press! At 3:34.7 for the 1200 she
was on her way. Siraki finished in 4:49.1, with her squad recording
a 12:25.63.
Interview
Anita Siraki
Asked what she thought at the start of her leg
(which had her in about sixth place): "I just wanted to catch
the first place runner. I knew she had a big lead, but I thought
that I could do it."
Asked where she was in training, "We ran a lot of miles this
week. This is kind of a build-up time to get ready for our peak
for the state meet, and I have been working hard."
Asked her goal for the State Meet, "To run under 10:00!"
