TRACK--The Marina High School girls’ team placed first in the Sunset League track and field championships Friday night, edging Ocean View, 117-116. The results were incorrectly announced at the meet and were later corrected; however, the earlier results were reported in Saturday’s editions. Ocean View, however, still won the league title because Marina had to forfeit all four of its league victories for using an ineligible athlete.
In the girls’ competition, Ocean View won the title with 116 points, only one more than Marina. Edison was third with 94.
Shelley Taylor of Edison overtook Lana Atchley of Ocean View with two laps remaining to win the girls’ 3,200-meter run. Taylor finished second to Christie Engesser of Ocean View in the 800-meter run. Engesser also won the 400-meter run.
Jim Dingus of Huntington Beach won the 300-meter hurdles and finished second in the 110-meter hurdles in 40.61 and 15.64 seconds, respectively.
