Quincy Watts of state champion Taft High and Kelley Peacock of Van Nuys were selected as the top track athletes in the City Section by the All-Los Angeles Board of Athletics, a panel of sportswriters who covered high school sports during the 1985-1986 school year.

Watts, only a sophomore, won the 200 meters, was second in the 100-meters and anchored the second-place 400-meter relay team as Taft became the first Valley-area boys team to win the state title in 68 years. Peacock, a senior, won three events at the City championships and finished second in the long jump and third in the 100-meter hurdles at the state meet.

Lauren Goldstine of the Las Virgenes Comets track club was one of four team members to win titles at the California/Nevada Region 8 Championships held earlier this month at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, Calif. The meet, in which more than 1,600 athletes competed, was sanctioned by The Athletics Congress.
