Claremont junior Kori Carter has the fastest time in the 100-meter hurdles in the nation this year; she just didn’t have the fastest time in Clovis today.

That distinction went to Etiwanda senior Monisha Davis, who finished in 13.59 seconds to win her heat at the state track and field preliminaries. Carter won her heat in 13.99 and Diamond Ranch’s Karynn Dunn also qualified in 14.17.

Other qualifiers from the Southland for Saturday’s championship were Long Beach Poly’s Melia Cox (13.67), Carter’s Shanice Stewart (14.16) and Valley Christian’s Hannah Goranson (14.33).

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.
