Some names to watch this spring in boys track and field

 Don't blink.
 That's how fast sophomore Azjani McGill is. Last year as a freshman at Monterey, he reached the Central Coast Section finals in the long jump.
 McGill was a Pacific Division champion in the 200 (22.55) and long jump (20-10 1/2). He's a threat to dip under 11 seconds in the 100.
 If Palma is going to make it six straight Gabilan Division track titles, it will need big efforts from its distance core, namely Sam Lavorato and Tommy Padilla.
 The pair went 1-2 last year at the Gabilan Division finals. Lavorato reached the state meet this past fall in cross country for the second straight year.
 Keep an eye on two-time Gabilan Division high jump champion Reno DiTullio of Palma, who will chase a spot in the state meet.
 A sprinter to watch in the Mission Trail Athletic League is Damian Acosta, who will be the favorite in the 100 and 200 meter sprints.
