Titan Girls Cruise to Victory Over Spartans

	Sweep of field events makes it a blowout

	Our girls are playing it smart. Every week, they get faster and more athletic and fill team holes. And, they are closing in on the best marks of last year’s team. For example, Monica DeJesu is just 0.12 of a second behind Ohmunique Browne’s season best in the 100 last year. Alissa Barraza is about a second off of her 2012 Finals performance in the 800. And, we now have Vanessa Mejia tossing the shot nearly 27 feet. Our leaders in the other 4 field events either have already set better marks (Anya) than last year or are getting close (Ashley). There is a depth to this team that makes it difficult for other teams. Even when the girls come up short, it generally is not by much.

2013-03-27 - Alissa & Sonja end of lap 1 (La Canada)

But, the litmus test of depth is the 4x400 relay. It is also the most exciting event of a track meet. On Wednesday, Alissa, Jennifer, Monica and Carlin put together a 4:21 and the coach thinks that we haven’t seen anything yet. That performance is already just a second in back of last year’s third place finish in the Finals.

In what figured to be the toughest field in any event yesterday, Alissa had some serious competition from Sonja Cwik and Anna Friedrich in the 1600. It was a tight pack of 3 through the first 3 and a half laps but the Spartan girls were able to break away in the final 200 meters. The strong competition enable Alissa to finish within a second of her personal best in the 1600. Alissa had an even better run in the 800 as she set a tough pace and Anna Friedrich was just not able to close the gap. “I probably went out a little too fast and felt it on the second half”, Alissa commented. “I am working on improving my pace.”

In what continues to be the most exciting intra-team competition, Monica managed to cross the line in front of Jennifer in the 200 by a margin of just 0.31 second. More to come from those two. Elizabeth O’Neil contributed 8 team points with a win in the 300 hurdles and a place in the 100 hurdles. Too bad there won’t be any video of that 100 hurdles race because the margin was razor-thin and it would be fun to watch.

A lack of depth put Div 3 school La Cañada squarely in our sights. The meet was closer than we expected due to the Spartan’s Spencer Faire and Graham Miketta, who scored 23 points between the two of them. The Titans got off to a fast start by winning the 4x100 relay and taking the top 2 spots in the 1600. It was 13-1 after 2 events. The two teams split the points the rest of the way but La Cañada showed surprising strength in the 200 and 3200. We had no idea what to expect from the Spartans in the relays and they almost won the 4x400. Wyatt Wu again won the pole vault, as he has done all season. Jonathan Yau got his second win of the season in the shot and Matthew Ferraco made it 3 wins this season in the high jump. But, Miketta made the score tight with his wins in the long jump and triple jump. Mitchell Hee went toe-to-toe with Miketta in the triple, with half an inch separating the two.

800 - Drew fought off La Canada’s Mario DelCueto, who continually challenged the winner but didn’t have what Drew had at the finish. The competitive race caused Drew to push the speed at every challenge and resulted in his fastest 800, yet. Drew commented that he felt so strong and had in his mind that “there was no way he was going to get beat; just no way.” Coach Mundo said that it was Drew’s way of telling them “not in my house.”

3200 - Drew led the entire race except for the last foot. La Canada’s Ethan Angold drafted Drew for 7½ laps until they hit the final homestretch, where it became a sprint to the finish. Angold managed to get a body part across the line first but it was tight. Although disappointed at the outcome, Drew was gracious (as he always is), shaking Ethan’s hand and congratulating him. Drew commented that Ethan pushed him to a better race than he would have had otherwise.


	4x400 Relay - John Judge’s anchor leg was one of the highlights of the meet as he had to make up a very large deficit. While the Spartans lost by 11 points, this anchor performance was responsible for 10 of those points.
