Saturday's Division I, II and III Track and Field Preliminaries proved to be a difficult trek for the Del Rio League as only two athletes qualified for advancement to Saturday's CIF-Southern Section Divisional Championships at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut.
Dorantes led the charge by winning his heat in the boys 3,200-meter run at the Division II Prelims at Moorpark High School.
His time was the third best in the Southern Section this past weekend.
1. Riley Sullivan, Trabuco Hills, Division I - 9:14.63
2. Rex Nelson, Newport Harbor, Division II - 9:18.523
3. Luis Dorantes, Whittier, Division II - 9:19.12
Congratulations to Luis and to the DRL's only other qualifier, Pioneer's Michelle Macias.

St. Paul's quartet of Dusty Brown, Ryan Cadwalader, Eddie De Dios and Pete Romo all tied for first in the boys pole vault with marks of 12 feet while Daniel Trejo advances in the 300 hurdles (42.35, fifth). Whittier Christian's Kyle Clark also won the boys 300 hurdles (39.86) and took third in the 110 hurdles (15.69) while the Heralds boys 400 (43.86, fifth) and 1,600-relay teams (3:34.62, eighth) also earned nods to Mt.
