Running against some of the nation's elite
on the second day of the California Relays
at Cerritos College, the Falcon men's track
and field team showed that they are capable
of holding their own when faced with the
best. Sophomore hurdler
Anthony Harbor (Bellflower
HS) posted a strong time of 15.02 to
come in second place in the finals of the
110-meter high hurdles, while he was clocked
in 56.56 in the 400-meter intermediate
hurdles, which was good enough for fourth
place.
As for
distance runners
Daniel Clifford-Sorenson (Lakewood
HS),
Jonathan Dillard (Lakewood HS)
and
Casey McCombs (Lakewood HS),
the freshmen duo placed second, fifth and
eighth, respectively in the 5000 meters.
Clifford-Sorenson turned in a time of
15:08.40, which is one of the fastest times
in school history, while Dillard came in
15:41.50 and McCombs finished the race in
16:05.49. Sophomore sprinter
Genoa Dill (Compton HS)
finished eighth in the finals of the 200
meters in a time of 22.40, while a pair of
Falcons finished in the top 10 in the 800
meters. Sophomore
Dennis Drisdom (Dominguez
HS) came in ninth place (2:00.92), with
freshman
Miguel Ortega (John Glenn
HS) placing 10th in 2:01.48. The
1600-meter relay team placed third in a time
of 3:21.04.
In the
field events, freshman
Brandon Dickson (Long Beach
Millikan HS) came in ninth place in the
long jump at 21' 5 1/2", while freshman
