HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MT. SAC RELAYS : Glusac Leads Fallbrook to Relay Win

Milena Glusac, the Kinney Western Regional cross-country champion, led the Fallbrook distance medley relay team to victory Friday night at the Mt. San Antonio College relays in Walnut.

Fallbrook’s time was 12:07.00, No. 10 on the all-time state list and more than two seconds under Edison’s 1992 best.

Fallbrook was on pace to become the fourth school from the state to break 12 minutes until Glusac slowed shortly after 800 meters.

“My first two laps were good, but I lost my concentration on the third lap,” Glusac said. “Our first goal was to win the race. Our second goal was to run a national best. We put our times together and projected that we could run 12:08 or 12:09.”

Other San Diego winners included: defending state champion Erin Blunt of San Pasqual in the 300 hurdles (43.84); San Pasqual’s boys in the distance medley relay (10:19.73) and Mt. Carmel’s girls in the 1,600 relay (4:00.30).

Paul Turner of University City won the first of two 100-meter races in a hand-timed 10.5 seconds.

Elsewhere, freshman Amy Skieresz anchored the Agoura girls’ 6,400-meter relay team to a state record. Senior Laura Hayward, sophomore Kay Nekota, junior Kristie Camp and Skieresz, who helped lead the Chargers to their second consecutive state cross-country title in November, won in 20:29.15 for the distance, slightly shorter than four miles.

The Chargers’ time converts to a 20:36.32 for four miles and ranks third on the national list. Last season, Hayward and Camp ran on an Agoura team that ranks fifth at 20:42.27. Rochester (N.Y.) Brighton set the national record of 20:28.00 for four miles in 1985.

Skieresz, who ran a 5:02.8 anchor leg, was outleaned by Shelley Taylor of Huntington Beach Edison at the finish of the distance medley relay at Arcadia as Edison won in a national best of 12:09.37.

“I was personally upset,” Skieresz said. “I don’t know if this makes up for it, but it feels good to come back and run a good time. Our goal was for everybody to run 5:05 to 5:10.”

Keith Moten of Loyola edged Demond Smith of Hawthorne for his second victory in three meetings in the 300 intermediate hurdles. Both were timed in :37.9.
