Rebels’ run ends
Erik Boal
CLAREMONT -- The Prep League boys’ track and field final was billed as
a showdown between the speed, versatility and experience of Flintridge
Prep verses the size, strength and depth of Claremont Webb.
And unfortunately for the Rebels, the strong survived Friday night at
Claremont-McKenna College.
Despite recording just one second-place finish in the 10 track events, Webb had enough depth in the field -- specifically in the discus throw
and the shot put, where it combined for 36 points -- to end Flintridge
Prep’s storied run of nine straight league titles.
“Nine years is wonderful,” said Rebel Coach Kenny Fisher, whose squad
led by eight points, before surrendering 21 points to the Gauls in the
discus, resulting in a 99-86 victory for Webb.
“If someone would have sat me down nine years ago and told me we would
have won that many in a row, I would have said they were crazy.
“I’m very proud of the guys, because they didn’t go down without a
fight. The kids came out and they fought and they battled, and now I
guess we just have to start [another streak] all over again.”
One team that streaked past the competition from the first event and
never looked back was the Rebel girls, who captured their third straight
league crown with a dominating 155-point effort, well ahead of
second-place Vivian Webb (93).
Flintridge Prep opened the meet with a school-record performance in
the 400-meter relay, winning in 49.52 seconds.
Lindsay Fletcher joined fellow freshmen Coco Kleinert and Allison
Pedro and junior Maya Benitez in the record-setting effort, and combined
with sophomore Jacqueline Woods, Benitez and Kleinert in capturing the
1,600 relay in 4:10.54.
Fletcher -- who was selected as the girls’ most valuable runner of the
meet -- clocked a season-best 25.11 to win the 200, which came on the
heels of a victory in the 100 in 12.25.
“The girls were simply awesome,” said Fisher, who also got
second-place finishes from Kleinert in the 100, Benitez in the 400 and
Michelle Lin in the 110 intermediate hurdles.
“Lindsay Fletcher was tremendous and Maya Benitez was great, and all
the girls were pretty pumped about their performance.
“The field events held their own [led by a sweep of all five places in
the pole vault] and it was an all-around team effort.”
On the boys’ side, junior Alfred Yi was a double winner in the 110
high and 300 intermediate hurdles, triumphing in 15.99 and 42.37, respectively.
Yi also contributed to a victory in the 400 relay, joining Omar Dittu,
Tim Ichien and Jesse Fleece.
Fleece won the pole vault with a leap of 11 feet and Ramses Barden
took the triple jump (38-11 3/4).
