For the first time in the last 13 years, a
school other than Mt. San Antonio College
has won the South Coast Conference Men's
Track and Field Championship. The Cerritos
College men's track team, winners of five
events, dethroned the Mounties, while
compiling 247 team points, with Mt. SAC a
distant second place with 180.5 team points.
The Falcon qualifiers will now advance to
the Southern California Preliminaries, which
will be held next Saturday at Mt. San
Antonio. The top six from each event advance
to the prelims, while there will be a
selection of automatic qualifiers that will
be decided at a seeding meeting.
Sophomore
Kelsey Caesar (Klein
Forest, TX HS/Cal State Long Beach) was
involved in three first place finishes, as
he won the 200 meters (21.69), 400 meters
(47.61) and ran the anchor leg of the
1600-meter relay team that won in a time of
3:15.29. The other three members of that
relay team also combined to qualify in five
other events. Joining Caesar in winning the
race were freshman
Torion Bailey (Mayfair HS),
sophomore
Brandon Dickson (Long Beach
Millikan HS) and sophomore
Marlon Austin (Bellflower HS).
Both Austin and Dickson qualified in the 400
meters, while Dickson also placed fourth in
the long jump.
Other
winners for the Falcons included sophomore
Qualaun Reed (Cabrillo HS)
in the 3000-meter steeplechase with a time
of 9:57.87, while two others finished in the
top four. Sophomore
Kristen Joseph (Canyon
Springs, NV HS) won the long jump at
23' 6", while freshman
Jeramey Cutler (Lakewood HS)
won the discus at 152' 3". Cerritos will be
well represented in the throwing events and
jumps, as well.
