Randall Carrroll, the defending state champion in the boys’ 100 meters, just ran his preliminary heat in an impressive 10.34 seconds, just off the 10.30 he ran at the Del Rey League finals. It was easily enough for a victory in the heat.

Wildomar Elsinore’s Kenny Jackson logged a 10.52 to win his heat.

Santee’s Tevin Carter won his heat in 10.56 and Bishop Amat’s Sheldon Price was third in 10.65.

Fountain Valley’s Kyle Middlebrooks finished second in his heat in 10.54 and Crenshaw’s DeAnthony Thomas was third in 10.67.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
