The San Diego Section qualified more than 100 boys and girls athletes for the Friday-Saturday, 101st state track championships at Clovis Buchanan High.
The top three finishers in the San Diego Section meet last week and others who met the state qualifying standard earned the 340-mile trip to the Fresno suburb.
Coronado’s Alysha Hickey will defend the long jump title she won last year at Clovis as the section’s first individual winner since 2015.
Madison’s Kenan Chriton will try to double in the 100 and 200 meters. Riley Washington of San Diego Southwest was the area’s last 100-meter winner, clocking :10.30 at Cerritos College in Norwalk in 1992.
David Russell of Patrick Henry was the last 220 winner, running :20.91 wind aided at UCLA in 1977. Russell also won the 100 in :09.61w. San Diego’s only other double sprint champion was San Diego’s Jimmy Willson, who ran :09.8 and :21.4 at the Los Angeles Coliseum in 1929.
Canyon Crest scored 73 points to win the boys’ Division I championship in Saturday’s section final at Mt. Carmel High. La Costa Canyon followed with 63. Point Loma had 51, Torrey Pines 49, and Helix 44.
Cathedral (67), Oceanside (59), Sage Creek (52), Madison (48 1/2), and La Jolla (40 1/2) were the D-II leaders.
