BOYS' TRACK: Cabral finally gets wind-legal state 110 hurdles record

| | Comments (0) |

After a number of close calls throughout his senior season, Agoura's Johnathan Cabral finally produced the fastest wind-legal time in state history in the 110-meter hurdles with a prelim effort of 13.36 seconds Friday at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.

Cabral, the two-time state champion, had run a wind-aided 13.27 at the Southern Section Masters meet May 27, along with a wind-legal 13.41 at the Golden West Invitational on June 11, which had equaled the No. 2 mark in state history with Mission Viejo's Steve Kerho from 1982.

But Cabral, who will run at University of Oregon next season, finally delivered a wind-legal effort on his future home track that eclipsed the 2004 standard of 13.39 set by James Logan of Union City's Kevin Craddock.

Cabral, who is seeded second entering the 2:25 p.m. final behind Florida sophomore Eddie Lovett (13.23), is closing in on the national high school record of 13.30 set in 1990 by Chris Nelloms of Dunbar High in Dayton, Ohio.
