High School Track : Armstrong, Ingalls Lift Agoura to Easy Victory

Before the season began, Agoura track Coach Bill Duley expected to have a strong team, but thus far the Chargers have surpassed his expectations.

Led by Bryan Dameworth, the state Division I cross-country champion, the Chargers have a large returning nucleus. But it has been the performances of less heralded athletes that has surprised Duley.

Athletes such as Mike Armstrong and Jeff Ingalls, who helped Agoura charge past Santa Clara, 115-21, in a Frontier League opener at Agoura on Thursday.

Armstrong, a senior who had never competed in high school track before this season, won the long jump with a personal best of 21 feet, 3 inches, and Ingalls won the 100 meters in 11.3 seconds and the 400 in 52.4

Dameworth won the 1,600 meters in 4:43.2, Will Olson won the 300-meter low hurdles in 42.3 and Mike Mathes set a school record in the discus with a throw of 127-6.

Burroughs 79, Glendale 48--Doug Dragomer won the 100 yards (10.3) and Bruce Luizzi won the 220 (22.7) as the Indians cruised to a nonleague victory at Glendale.

Teammates Mike Stewart and Dan Murphy added victories in the pole vault (13-6) and high jump (6-2) for Burroughs.

La Salle 63, Chaminade 57--Victor Martinez and Trevor Slavick were double winners for the Eagles, but La Salle prevailed in the Santa Fe League meet at Chaminade.

Martinez won the 330-yard hurdles with a time of 43.8 and the 110-meter high hurdles in 16.5. Slavick won the long jump with a leap of 19-5 3/4 and the triple jump with a 37-9 effort.
