On the strength of three individual
state champions, the Cerritos
College women's track and field team
captured their second consecutive
state championship, and third in the
last four years, on Saturday at
College of San Mateo. The Falcons,
who edged Laney College, 107-101.5
in team points, also had a second
place and six third place finishes.
The team also scored the majority of
their points in the field events,
which provided the most depth of any
school in the state.
Sophomore
Erin Straughter (Valencia
HS) picked up the team's long
running state title, as she won the
100-meter high hurdles with a time
of 14.37, while her time of 1:03.51
was good enough for fifth in the
400-meter hurdles. Joining her in
that race was sophomore
Apryll White (Kennedy
HS), who placed third in
1:03.16.
But it was the field events that won
the title for the Falcons, as
sophomore
Jessica Barfield (Lynwood
HS) captured the triple jump in
41' 3 3/4", with sophomore
Karen Guravska (El
Dorado HS) winning the pole
vault at 12'. Points were scored in
bunches in the hammer, javelin and
shot put, as the Falcons saw three
athletes compete in each event.
In
the hammer, sophomore
Whitney Ashley (J.W.
North HS) placed second at
157', while freshman
Arianna Lugo (Los
Altos HS) was right behind in
third place with a toss of 152' 8".
Ashley also scored points in the
discus with a fourth place finish
and she placed third in the shot
put. Also placing in multiple events
were freshman
Stephanie Aliimatafitafi
(Paramount HS) in the shot
put (fourth place) and hammer (ninth
place), while Guravska also came in
third in the javelin at 133' 8 1/2".
Freshman
Cyntrail Pierce (Compton
HS) was a third place finisher
in the long jump (18' 1 1/2"), while
her time of 12.19 was good for
seventh in the 100 meters.
