Charles Saseun of Rancho Cucamonga, who last year ran the state’s fastest time ever in the boys’ 100 meters at 10.39, finished in 10.50 to emerge as the No. 1 qualifier from the Southern Section-Toyota Division I preliminaries at Trabuco Hills. Saseun came into the day with the state’s third-best time, 10.59. His time Saturday was just off the 10.49 of L.A. Cathedral’s Randall Carroll at the Arcadia Invitational.

Corona Santiago athletes qualified second and third. Anthony Dye clocked 10.72 and Rodney Storrs 10.74.

Saseun and Dye’s times were both wind legal, but Storrs was wind-aided. Dye’s time would move him into the state’s top 10.
