state track

Eight athletes are headed to the state track and field championships Friday.
We haven't had a male champion since 1993 when future Olympic gold medalist Calvin Harrison won the 200 and 400 meter sprints.
Yes, it's rare in Monterey County.
Just getting to the finals is an achievement.
A five-second improvement by Monterey's 1,600 relay team in 2006 propeled them into the finals, where they ended up third.
Could we see a similar scenario occur this year with the Toreadores 1,600 relay unit? The unit has yet to run together with fresh legs.
Time will have to drop for this unit to move up five spots just to crack the finals. I like their chances.
