LIONS SHINE AMONGST THE BEST AT MOC: Several athletes from the @jserra.tfxc Girls and Boys teams put forth strong individual performances under the lights at the Hi-Racer Distance Meet of Champions Distance Classic on Saturday at Arroyo High School in El Monte.

Junior Reese Holley and senior Chloe Elbaz were amongst the highlight performers in the featured invitational heat of the 800m.

The Lions’ duo was implanted in the top four after the first 400m of the race and in the top three as the showdown neared its dramatic conclusion.

Holley’s final racing strides brought her across the finish line in second place with a lifetime best effort of 2:10.13.

Her time is currently the second fastest run in the state and the fifth fastest run in the country to date, while also moving her into fourth place all-time in school history.

Elbaz was just behind Holley, stepping across the finish line in third place with a clocking of 2:10.58, which is currently third best in the state and eighth best in the country.

Senior Mireya Hardman placed second in her 800m heat in a lifetime best of 2:16.41.

Senior Jack Burnett also enjoyed a stellar two-lap performance in the featured heat of the Boys 800m battle, as Burnett sprinted across the finish line with a new lifetime best of 1:53.37.

That effort is currently the fifth fastest in the state.

Senior JohnPaul De Santos claimed a thrilling photo finish victory in his 800m heat with a lifetime best time of 1:55.25, vaulting him into seventh place in school history.

Freshman Maya Pawlowicz turned in the fastest overall time by a ninth grader in the invitational mile race, as she recorded a time of 4:57.72 to earn sixth place.

Her mile time is currently the seventh best in the state this season and the fifth best in school history.

Pawlowicz`s 1600m split of 4:56.06 is currently the 11th fastest in the state and the fastest among all freshman runners.
