California Relays Showcases State Leading Marks
3/19-20/10
The California Relays at Cerritos College has
been growing every year, and every year the performances by it's competing
athletes gets faster and faster. The 2010 edition was no exception, with an
astounding 11 state leading marks set over the two day event.
In almost every facet of the sport, athletes
shined with some of the top performers in the state, from both northern and
southern California in attendance.
In the sprints, the host school's Ameer Webb
set state best in both the 100 and 200 meters running 10.62 and 21.46
respectively. He would would also help lead the Cerritos men's team to victory
in the 400 relay, also in a top state time. In the 400, American Rivers Durawn
Howard set the standard with a 47.23 mark. Howard would also lead the Beavers
to the top mark in the state in the 1600 meter relay, running an impressive
3:12.
In the mid distances, Torion Bailey of
Cerritos College, showed why he is the defending state champion in the 800
meters, winning the race in a state best mark of 1:52.38. However, for his top
competition for the crown, he may have no further to look then his own team, as
fellow Falcon, Gabriel Hilbert, was just edged by Bailey by a mere 2 tenths of a
second.
In the long distances, East LA's Juan
Estrella ran a very strong race in the men's 10,000, as he was the first
community college athlete to finish in a time of 31:56.
