It should be quite a final race in the boys’ 400 meters on Saturday after Chino Hills’ Josh Mance and La Sierra’s Reggie Wyatt won their preliminary heats with nearly identical times of 47.24 seconds and 47.28, respectively.

Gardena Serra’s Robert Woods won his heat in 47.53 and Artesia’s Jalen Craver won his in 47.94. Also qualifying from the Southland were Dominguez’s Kivon Grant (48.10), Manual Arts’ Terrence Conway (48.20) and Rancho Verde’s Paul Robertson (48.55).

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.
