2022 Girls Track (1): McCormick Paces Best Marks

San Diego Section girls have the best performances in California in three events, leading in the 100 and 300 hurdles, and shot put.

Aaliyah McCormick of Scripps Ranch is first in the short hurdles at :13.46 and Kapiolani Coleman of Cathedral is first in the longer barriers in :42.19.  Kennedy Clarke of Cathedral leads with a 47-foot, 5-inch shot put.

McCormick, who also leads the section with a :11.71 in the 100 meters, was aided by a 3.4 wind, over the allowable 2.0, in the Division II trials at University City last week.  McCormick has a 2022 wind-accepted :13.61, which serves as the county’s all-time No. 1.  Her :13.85 in 2021 was No. 1.
