Complete Team Effort on Senior Day Leads to Impressive Marks for Warriors

San Jose, CA – It was a complete team effort Wednesday as the Warriors closed out the dual meet season with a win for both the boys and girls track & field teams.  Collectively there were 52 season bests on the day.

It was the Seniors who really shined on this day: Seniors Shelby Smallwood, Karen Mac and Jessica Xu closed out their final home track meet with wins.  Smallwood was a double winner finishing first in the 100 and 200, in addition to running on the winning 4 x 100 meter relay team; Jessica Xu took the mile and 800 while Karen Mac took the 400! 

Senior Tommy Arechiga was a triple winner taking the 100 hurdles, 300 hurdles and winning the triple jump in his first try at the event!  David Maumalanga closed out his impressive senior season with a win in the shot put that has seen him improve over six feet this season and become one of the top ranked throwers in the WCAL and CCS!

Meet Highlights:
  • It was a solid day in the distances as Matt Lundy and Dean DeMoss dipped under the 5 minute barrier.  That brings the sub 5 crew to five for the 2014 season with four others closing in as Francisco Hererra, Justin Baraona, Cameron Lockard and Yash Patel all ran 5:05 and under hitting personal bests.  
  • Another solid day in the throws: Ronna Stone's winning throw of  128-7 is just off her personal best 130-6, set Saturday at the Sacramento Meet of Champions.  She is currently ranked #1 in CCS.  Elena Bruckner also had a huge day hitting a personal best 124-0 which is currently ranked #3 in CCS.
  • Elaine Ma was a double winner taking the high jump and the long jump.  Her long jump mark of 16-10.75 is just one inch off her personal best.  She also ran a leg on the winning 4x400 meter relay that finished with their second best time this season.
