Track notes

March creates magic in track and field.
New names surface to the top, even if it's for a brief period. The clock or tape measure doesn't lie.
The peaking stage is still two plus months off.
Still it's hard to ignore a Central Coast Section leader, which is what we have with Stevenson's Ryan Hall in the high jump and defending CCS long jump champion Marcus Washington of Palma.
 Hall, who leaped 6-feet-5 at last year's MTAL finals, then was never heard from again, cleared 6-4 in his first meet this year. Washington has already set a career mark in the long jump at 22-3.
 Seaside's Jayla Scholis blistered the track in the 100 meters at 12.52, well off her career best of 11.92, where she finished eighth in the state last summer.
 Defending CCS 300 low hurdles champion Jessica Davis has yet to test herself in her speciality. But the King City senior has the fastest mark in the 100 hurdles (15.42) and has high jumped 5-2.
 Linda Delgado, a CCS finalist last year in the long jump and 400, is sixth in the long jump (16-3).
 Two athletes that have crept into the top eight in two events include Alvarez's Quentin Minor in the 100 and 200, and Alisal's Omar Guzman in the 110 high hurdles and 300 intermediate hurdles.
