BOYS’ TRACK

Marmonte League prelims--Agoura junior Scott Mitchell had the fastest qualifying marks in the 100 (personal best of 10.7 seconds) and 200 (22.3) meters, but it was the depth of talent in the 800 meters that highlighted the qualifying round at Camarillo High.

That depth was so great that Camarillo’s McRay Bryson ran 1 minute 59.2 seconds in the 800, but finished a non-qualifying fourth in the second heat. The top three finishers in the three heats advanced to Friday’s finals.

Jeff Wilson of Newbury Park (1:57.0), Bill Neff of Royal (1:57.7) and Dorian Valdez of Simi Valley (1:57.9) won heats in the 800.

Channel League prelims--Michael Brown of Hueneme won his heats in the 200 (22.4) and 400 (50.4) and had the leading qualifying mark in the long jump with a personal best of 21 feet 9 inches in the meet at Rio Mesa High.
