2025 Track Week 3: Arrington Jr., Scorches in 400 Attempt
His coaches at Helix, where Brandon Arrington, Jr., competed as a freshman, believed the 400 meters might be his best event. Having dominated the California 100 and 200-meter scene since transferring to Mount Miguel in 2024, Arrington, Jr., took a fling at the 400 last week.
Arrington raced to a :46.51 clocking in the season’s final dual meet against Grossmont and vaulted into second place in California behind the :45.69 of Temecula Valley’s Jack Stadlman.
The Matadors’ junior also became the fourth San Diego county runner to cover the distance in under 47 seconds and he ranks 11th in the country in the event this season.
Until the late 1970s San Diego County schools competed in the 440-yard, quartermile distance. The distance for 400 meters is 437.443 yards with a conversion to metrics being 0.3 seconds.
Fully electronic times also affect hand stopwatch timing, depending on the distance.
Many old 440-yard races started from a chute and covered just one turn of the track and 220-yard races were on a straightaway.
Mission Bay star Jim Cerveny’s 1957 state meet record of 1:52.7 in the 880 at Berkeley began in a chute and covered three turns of the track.

1980 Track: More Entries for San Diego Section in State Meet
The San Diego Section was approved for three entries in each event at the state track meet. The Section was allowed one per event in 1961 and ‘62 and had two each since 1963.
All events in the Section finals and state meet were conducted in meters for the first-time.
The additional entry provided little succor for Section competitors. There were no gold medal winners among Boys or Girls entries.

1980 Baseball: Mt. Carmel Star Starred as Baseball Executive
Bill Beane of Mt. Carmel was a star player for the Sundevils and the first player selected in the 1980 major league draft by the New York Mets.
“Billy” Beane played five seasons in the majors and joined the Oakland Athletics as an advance scout in 1990, beginning a front office career in which today Beane is part owner of the team and was the subject of the movie “Money Ball” in 2011 starring Brad Pitt.
5/2/80
Mark Davis, the third brother to play for Hoover since 1971, homered as the Cardinals defeated Crawford, 4-3.
Mark was preceded by John and Mike Davis. The latter went on to a nine-season major league career.
—Brian Tuller’s double scored Tony Johnson from first in the bottom of the ninth inning for a 4-3 Clairemont victory over Kearny, snapping the Komets’ seven-game Eastern League winning streak.
Tuller, who pitched a no-hitter against Bonita Vista in the Lions tournament, went the distance for the Chieftains, scattering 10 hits.
—Joe Bautista’s first-inning grand slam home run led Mar Vista to a 5-4 in over Chula Vista.
—Borrego Springs Mark Giberti pitched a no-hitter as the Rams defeated Cal Lutheran, 10-2, in the Southern League and Poway’s Tim Lund allowed one hit in a 3-2 win over Oceanside.
Joe Bautista swung hot bat for Mar Vista.
5/6/80
Nestor Rosas’ fourth-inning homerun was the difference in unbeaten Mar Vista’s 19th straight win, 4-3 over Coronado.
—Home runs by Charlie Steele and Garry Harris powered Hoover to a 13-4 win over Lincoln.
—Madison’s Gene Sgambelluri pitched a no-hitter and struck out 14 in a 7-0 win over San Diego.
5/16/80
Mar Vista’s 23-game, San Diego Section winning streak ended with an 8-6 loss to Coronado.
The Mariners, whose run included four games at the end of the 1979 season, backed into the Metropolitan League championship when Southwest defeated second-place Hilltop, 3-2.
Mar Vista, 15-1 in league and 19-1 overall, earlier broke the Section record for most consecutive wins. Oceanside won 18 in a row in 1970.
San Diego High had a 23-game winning streak as a member of the Southern Section in 1954 and streaks of 21 in 1959 and 19 in 1952 and ’57.
—Tom Katomski, Matt Nokes, Scott McKee, and Tom Weikel hit run-scoring singles and the first six Patrick Henry batters hit safely in the first inning as the Patriots defeated Kearny, 6-3, short circuiting the Komets’ attempt to clinch the Eastern League championship.
5/23/80
Regular-season play concluded in the Eastern, Western, and Metropolitan Leagues, with eight of 16 playoff berths in accounted for.
Kearny, Clairemont, and Patrick Henry (Eastern) advanced in 3-A, as did Mission Bay and University (Western), and Mar Vista and Chula Vista (Metropolitan) in 2-A.
—Joe Blas homered twice and drove in four runs as Kearny routed Morse, 23-4. Tom Katomski pitched Patrick Henry to its ninth consecutive win, 5-2 over Point Loma. Western League champion University lost to La Jolla, 3-2, and Clairemont, despite losing, 8-5, to Madison still finished ahead of the Warhawks.
Although losing to Mar Vista, 7-6, Hilltop qualified. Chula Vista earned the third bid, 11-7 over Bonita Vista.
—Santana, picked to finish seventh in the nine-team Grossmont League, rode the three-hit pitching of Ray Brown as the Sultans beat Grossmont, 1-0, at El Capitan.
The win marked the first time since 1970 the Sultans had won or shared the league title.

SEMIFINALS
3-A
Patrick Henry 10, @Clairemont 4 (15-9).
Trailing, 4-2, the Patriots exploded for six runs in the sixth inning.
El Capitan 7, @Mount Miguel 6 (16-6).
2-A
Mission Bay 4, @Mar Vista 2 (22-2).
Mission Bay coach Dennis Pugh surprised by giving the ball to John Henderson instead of ace Art Rodriguez, and Henderson, who had not made a start this season and had appeared only twice in relief, survived a shaky first inning and pitched a complete game.
Pugh thought Henderson’s sidearm delivery and variety of “junk stuff” would work. “I wanted to give them something they’ve hadn’t seen yet,” said Pugh.
“Besides,” the coach added, “we’re a better team defensively with Art at shortstop.”
Hilltop 2 (16-6), @University 3.
1-A
Army-Navy 4, @Borrego Springs, 11.
Santa Fe Christian 3, @Mountain Empire 9.
The Redskins’ Bob Price gave up two hits and struck out 10.

5/31/80
CHAMPIONSHIPS
3-A
Patrick Henry (16-6) 10, El Capitan (15-9) 4, @University San Diego.
The Patriots, hitless through 5 1/3 innings, exploded for nine runs in the sixth.
“I guess the sixth is a good inning for us,” said Patriots coach Bob Imlay, recalling a similar outburst in the semifinals two days before.
Tony Sharamitaro led off with a triple, Scott McKee doubled, and Rodney Ellis added a two-run single.
Greg Perry relieved starter Jim Kursinger and was on the mound for seven more runs, with the Vaqueros’ third error and a passed ball contributing.
The win, behind Mike Fazekas’ six-hit pitching, was Patrick Henry’s 13th in a row.
The newspaper’s regular-season rankings.
2-A
University (18-7) 4, Mission Bay (16-8) 3, @University San Diego.
Both pitchers, Mike Correia for the Dons and Mike Burrows for Mission Bay went the entire 13 innings.
Correia’s single drove in the deciding run after Burrows had almost worked out of a bases-loaded jam with two force outs at home plate.
Correia had worked a complete-game seven innings in the quarterfinals, added 1 1/3 innings in the semifinals and finished the week with 21 1/3 innings pitched.
“I feel this is the last game I’m going to want to pitch for a long time,” Correia told Linda Murphy of The San Diego Union. “I told coach I probably couldn’t pitch the next inning.”
The win was coach Dick Serrano’s second championship in three years and Correia closed with a 14-1 record.
The Redskins’ second straight title was achieved without a base hit in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Tom Harkness was hit by a pitch. A base on balls and a fielder’s choice moved Harkness to third. He scored on a passed ball.
Dan Mady’s two-run single in the fourth tied the score after Borrego took a 3-1 lead in the third on Paul Giberti’s double and Jim Streit’s two-run single.
