04.03.06 - CERRITOS DOMINATES IN MOST EVENTS AT INVITE

            In seven events at the Chabot Invitational, the Cerritos College women’s track and field team was a first place finisher, while the team had athletes place either second or third eight other times. Next up for the team will be the prestigious Mt. San Antonio Invitational, which will take place on Saturday at 10:00 a.m.

            The Falcons fared well in both the running events, as well as the field events. Freshman Sherrelle Dilworth (Vallejo HS) captured the 100 meters in a time of 12.21, while sophomore teammate Nicole Phillips (Lakewood HS) was second in a time of 12.68. Sophomore Meryl Follosco (Kennedy HS), one of the top distance runners in the state, won the 5000 meters in a time of 18:36.02, which was 46 seconds faster than the second place finisher. In the 1500 meters, Follosco place second in 4:49.10 and was beat by just two seconds by a runner from Loyola (IL) University.

            The Falcons won all three relay races, and had the second, third and fourth place finishers in the 110-meter hurdles with Yasmin Webb (Buena Park HS), Tatyanna Ricks (Lakewood HS) and Katie Black (Downey HS) pulling off the feat. Sophomore Allison Sarell (Gahr HS) won two events – the long jump (17’ 10”) and the triple jump (36’ 5”), while Black also had a fourth (high jump) and fifth place (long jump). Freshman NaShawnda Grant (Santa Fe HS) placed fourth in the javelin and shot put, with Ricks picking up a tie for second place (high jump) and a third place in the shot put.
