2019 Week 6: Christon Sizzles at ‘Sac

Madison’s Kenan Christon blasted the San Diego Section 200-meter sprint record, vaulted to No. 1 in California, and into the top 10 in the U.S.

The USC-bound senior lit up the El Camino College track in the 61st Mt. San Antonio Invitational, covering the distance in :20.90 and bettering the section record of :20.98, set in 1997 by Morse’s Ike Okenwa.

Christon, who also won the 100 in :10.66, is ninth in the country in the 200 this season.

Rancho Bernardo’s Ashley Callahan pole vaulted 13 feet, 6 inches, at Mt. Sac to move to second in the state, a tie for fourth in the country, and a tie for first in the San Diego Section with Westview’s Kortney Ross, who cleared 13-6 in 2010.

Callahan’s associate, Jacob Rice is in a tie for seventh all-time locally and currently is 10th in the country with a 16-foot, 4-inch pole vault.

RIEDMAN ROLLS

La Costa Canyon’s Jessica Riedman also covered some ground at the Mt. Sac event, moving to third in the state, 15th in the U.S., and 15th all-time in San Diego with a 2:11.37 in the 800.

Kristin Fahy’s, Riedman’s teammate, is No. 1 in California and sixth in the country with her 4:48.34 in the 1600.  Fahy also is No. 1 all-time in San Diego with her 10:15.80 in the 3200 and currently No. 2  in California, and sixth in the U.S. .

Coronado’s Alysha Hickey is fourth in the U.S. with her 5-10 1/2 high jump and No. 3 all-time in San Diego.  She has an all-time long jump of 20-9 1/2, which would be a San Diego Section record, but is wind-aided.

The Escondido Invitational, which opened years ago as the Orange Glen invite, is scheduled this week and is the last major locally before league trials and the big meets in May.

Marks in italics represent new season bests; those with parenthesis are where San Diego Section competitors stand in the state.

W–Wind aided.

  1. Rick, I’m afraid I’ll be in La Paz, Baja Calif. on a long-overdue fishing adventure a week from Friday. But you might consider heading over to Birt Slater Memorial Stadium on May 3 at 3pm, where Mr. Christon headlines the return of League Finals to Kearny’s campus for the first time in nearly 60 years!

    1. That’s a great stat, Matthew. I was at the first CIF track finals at Kearny in 1961 and ’62. Wind blew off the mesa and many marks were wind aided. Do you know the actual year the last league meet was at Kearny? Mesa College opened in 1964 and could have held the Western Leaguye meet there in 1965 and suceeding years.

      1. During my research for KHS school records, I did come across the newspaper coverage for the CIF meet from 1961 and ’62. But now that you mention it, 2019 may very well may be the inaugural League Final hosted by Kearny. Mesa College was indeed the ‘home away from home’ from the Komets and the rest of the Western League members.

      2. I’m going there Friday. The track is in an opposite direction from what I remember. I think the old layout pointed northeast.
