State track

 Keep an eye on Azjani McGill. He's going to open some eyes today at the CIF State track and field trials in Clovis.
 The Monterey sprinter ran 21.56 in the 200 virtually alone at last weeks Central Coast Section finals. That will not be the case tonight.
 Meaning the junior will be pushed in his attempt to make the finals and perhaps break another school record at Monterey. He will go into the trials with the sixth fastest overall time.
 McGill is on the bubble in the 100, seeded No. 12 at 10.82. However, he has a season best of 10.71, which could move him into contention for a spot in Saturday's finals.
 The Toreadores 400 relay team of McGill, William Caliz, Eris Hutchins and Jaiden Rusell will go into Friday's trials ranked eighth at 41.92.
 The top nine in each event advance to Saturday's finals.
 Carmel's 400 relay unit of Nick Sloan, Benicio Cristofalo, Lavar Edwards and Rashaan Ward will need a big personal record to inch their way into the top nine, as they are seeded No. 11.
 Vicente Jordan Vanderlipe will look to make amends in the pole vault. The Alvarez junior set a new school record earlier this year, clearing 15-6 1/2.
 Defending state girls pole vault champion Laurel Wong will look to podium for the third consecutive year.
 The Santa Catalina senior finished a disappointing third at last week's CCS finals. Wong, though, has a season best of 13-1.
 Sophomore Lauren Pritchard is the first Carmel girl to qualify for state in over a decade, as she will compete in the high jump, having sailed 5-2 last week.
