Track Meet vs. Laguna Hills

by

In the second league meet of the season, both the boys and girls track teams were doing well. The boys’ Frosh team is still undefeated and Varsity has the number two runner in the state, junior Hunter Simmons.

During the Frosh distance one mile race, Tesoro clutched the top three spots with freshman Nic Moore coming in first. Also the Varsity relay team with junior Syd Reynolds,  senior Derek Barnes, sophomore Tre Mitchell, and junior Hunter Simmons won a close 4×100 race with Simmons running the last leg to secure the win.

The girls distance team has strong runners, especially in the mile with Erica Liem [10] and Stephanie Lapidus [11] scoring first and second against Laguna Hills. “My goal is to PR like everyone else but when I run the mile I don’t pay attention to anyone around me and I just focus on my own race to do my personal best but I also strive to score for my team.” said sophomore Erica Liem.

Along with the athletes who ran, there are the athletes who jumped that contributed to the scores against Laguna. The jumping athletes are important to the scoring of a dual meet because their points count and the points they score could potentially make or break a team at the meet. “I high jump, long jump, triple jump, and pole vault. I love jumping because I just don’t like running but I like being a part the team, and by jumping, I know that I am contributing to the team.” said sophomore Kirby Ruback.

With the boys and girls winning in all events, Laguna Hills was swept.

Early Successes for Tesoro Track

by

Between her races, Kylee Webster (10) sits with pole vaulter Molly Scharmann (9) to watch the races and cheer on her teammates competing on the track.

For their second meet of the season, Tesoro Titans traveled to Rancho Santa Margarita High School for the Eagle Invitational that included several other different schools.  The meet took place all day Saturday, March 3 with the first event, the novice mile, taking place at 9:40 in the morning.  Although the girls that competed in this race usually compete in the regular Frosh/Soph or JV events, their coach placed them in this race so that they would not have to stay until four in the afternoon when the 1600 meter event was supposed to take place.  “We were more than prepared for that race,” said sophomore Kylee Webster.  “The Tesoro girls that ran got first, second, third, fourth, and fifth.”

Webster was also the first runner in the JV four by 800 meter relay team that competed at 1:30, about ten minutes off schedule.  Before the race her teammate and anchor runner, freshmen Kaitlyn Cook explained, “This is only my second meet ever, and I’ve never done anything like this before.” Despite their limited experience, Cook, Webster, and the other girls that ran in the four by 800 meter relay worked together to win first place for the JV competition.
