LIONS MAKE THEIR MARK: The @jserra.tfxc Girls and Boys teams enjoyed numerous standout performances this weekend at both the Mt. SAC Relays at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut and the Orange County Track and Field Championships at Mission Viejo High School in Mission Viejo.
Junior Reese Holley spearheaded another collective show of 800m strength by winning the girls invitational race in a new lifetime best of 2:08.10.
Her signature career effort is currently Orange County’s top seasonal two-lap time, the third best in school history, and the fourth best in the state.
Senior Chloe Elbaz finished sixth in 2:10.54, while freshman Maya Pawlowicz’s lifetime best effort of 2:11.73 placed her eighth.
Elbaz, Holley, sophomore Morgan Woolforde, and senior Maya Woolforde dropped a seasonal best time of 3:52.77 in the invitational 4x400m relay to finish in second place.
Maya Woolforde also placed fourth in the seeded 400m race in a time of 56.32.
Senior Alden Morales starred in the boys 800m invitational race, clocking a seasonal-best 1:50.24 to place second.
Fellow senior Jack Burnett finished fifth in a lifetime best 1:51.73.
Senior Luke Friedl surged to a new lifetime best of 1:52.59 in the seeded 800m race, crossing the finish line in third place.
Burnett and Friedl now occupy second and third place all-time in school history respectively.
The quartet of junior Will Fredericksen, senior Zacarias Nickerson, junior Josiah Blackwell, and sophomore Sam Fredericksen established a new school record time of 1:28.70 in the seeded 4x200m relay to finish in fourth place.
The Orange County pole vault title at Mission Viejo High school came down to a tight battle between Lions’ teammates.
Junior Adi Rusin and senior Helena Reuter each cleared a meet-best height of 12 feet.
Rusin, who set a new lifetime best with her clearance, won the title based on less total jumps in the competition.
She becomes the first pole vaulter in school history to win the county crown.
