| | Comments (0) |

Competing in their final meet on their home track, Knight of Palmdale twins Ulises and Uriel Aquino left quite an impression Thursday at the Golden League track and field finals.

Uriel Aquino bested his brother 4:25.66 to 4:26.94 in the 1,600 and added another victory over senior teammate Gabriel Martinez in the 800 by a 2:01.02 to 2:01.89 margin. Ulises Aquino completed the distance sweep for the Hawks with a win in the 3,200, holding off Lancaster's Pedro Zaragoza 9:53.48 to 9:57.63.

While Knight was showing its strength in the longer races, Highland of Palmdale junior Jessica Davis was dominating the sprints, sweeping the 100 (11.99), 200 (24.47) and 400 (58.43) to take another step on the road to defending her state title in the 200.

Jazmine Hayes captured the 100 hurdles (17.09), Braxton Cullors prevailed in the 800 (2:26.22) and Caylie Choate won the 3,200 (11:57.60) for the Bulldogs, who also triumphed in the 1,600 relay (4:01.09).

In the boys' competition, Antelope Valley's Davion Robinson doubled in the 110 hurdles (15.25) and 300 hurdles (40.46), with Eastside's Marcellus Golliday -- who helped the Lions capture the first league title in any sport in school history -- winning the long jump (24-1 3/4) the 100 (11.00) and contributing to the victorious 400 relay (43.32), along with taking third in the triple jump (42-4 1/2).

Eastside also received victories from Dawayne Dixon in the 200 (22.73) and Steven Sims in the shot put (48-7).

Golden League girls' champion Quartz Hill won four events, led by Sabrina Graham's 35-4 in the triple jump. Lauren Graham cleared 11-7 in the pole vault, Regan Mew took the 300 low hurdles (49.14) and the Rebels captured the 400 relay (49.05).
