Sprinting to the finish line, McClain, Lee, Price and Salcido making this year memorable

Three laps to go, then can I go take a nap?

runner,
I ran track in high school 9.6 hundred yard dash. I know how hard I worked. It has nothing to do with an official caught yawning; you Bozo! Grow up and become a man or woman!
If you can’t see the humor in that picture you will never make it in life :(

Fred and Jackboy...what a put down to all the hundreds and thousands of hard working young men and women who work very hard at their track and field events! It may not be the most popular spectator sport but more high school kids participate in track and field than any other high school sport! Congratulations to all the young men and women who made it this far and Good Luck tomorrow!

Fred,
Great picture; that guy in orange is yawning!

Best of Luck to all Amat athletes in the CIF D3 Track Championships:

Boys 4x100 Relay-Nathan Smith, Nick Gutierrez, Darren Andrews and Kiyoshi Johnson

Girls 4x100 Relay-Iliana Velasquez, Megan Taylor, Madison Herrera and Kylie Price

Nathan-Long Jump
Franceline-Discuss
Kylie-100,200,Long Jump

Go Lancers! Amat will shine!!

Kat Fan,

Kat could have been SDHS Athlete of the Year, but McKee (Shannon) should also be mentioned. She focused on soccer this track season but plays two varsity sports and was recruited by and received offers from D1 schools for both sports. Captained the Saints' CIF Finalist soccer team this spring. Will play soccer at Cal-Berkeley in the fall. Runs the anchor on the Saints CIF Finalist 4x100m relay.

Rachel Jones was another strong candidate.

Having said that, go Kat go! Go get 'em at Finals, Masters, and State!

This weekend is the comunity college state meet and there is a former La Puente athlete competeing in it in the 100 and 200 meters and he is Jacoby Nguyen and hes from mt sac. He is the number 2 runner in the state in the 100 and number 3 or 4 in the 200 meters

To San Dimas' Best Athlete of the Year:

SEE KAT GO, GO KAT GO!!!

Good Luck to all of SGV in Cerritos and rest of year.

oh and just as bob ramsey showed there are a large amount of athletes whose accomplishment in their sport are much greater than those of the football and basketball teams in the same area and that seems pretty significant

im sorry if i came off as a complainer fred i just feel like the other sports such as track, swimming, tennis, water polo, cross country etc deserve more recognition and i agree with you that the majority of the people on here just care for football basketball and baseball and dont get me wrong i enjoy reading about them too but if you try to include more info bout those sports you could appeal to a much wider audience because track and field in my opinion is the fastest growing sport. but you do a very good job with this blog fred it is truly the best prep sports blog on the web, i just hate that alot of those sports dont get the coverage they deserve thats all

Track Fan, what is way bigger than half the stuff we post? You mean in regards to football and baseball? Those sports have a far bigger readership and following than track, it's not playing favorites, it's catering to our audience. Look at UCLA and USC for example, what sports are written about most in mainstream media, football and basketball by a landslide. Are you saying media should cover track, women's volleyball, men and women's soccer equally, and other collegiate sports equally? It's just not practical, but with the staff we have, we try to cover as much track and swimming as we can late in the season when it matters most. In term sof who we write about, sometimes it's not about mentioning every kid, but focusing on the angle that draws readers in, like a kid trying to double in the 100 and 200 for the first time in history. We could mention a guy who finished fifth in the pole vault or sixth in the 1,600, but the story is the guy chasing history.

bob ramsey is right this is wayy bigger than half the stuff posted on here considering breaking news is some no name coach might go coach football a high school or the possible schedule for bishop amat football next year and some baseball team losing, if you want to run a sports blog you cant be bias to one sport or 2, these track athletes deserve just as much or more credit for what they do compared to most of the stuff you post on here

Remontay's chance to be be the first to double the 100 & 200 in back to back years is huge! Ranking right up there with the annual beginning of Spring Football practice and the MtSac baseball coach's negotiating practices. [/snark]

But what's being missed here is the extraordinary number of ESGV athletes who have advanced to CIF Finals this year in the toughest section in the country. The Southern Section is bigger than all but three states, and unlike our other sports, is only broken up into four divisions.

Our area has advanced 45 athletes (and 6 relays) from 22 schools for our best showing in memory.
