Los Cats – Bellarmine’s young man Josh Haven won both obstacle races on Saturday in the Central Coast Top 8 invitational in the High cats.
He also took the third in the height jump to finish as the top scorer in children.
A multiple event talent to be sure, and is only scratching the surface. A week ago he competed in the Decathlon in the Invitational Arcadia and established a CCS record with a score of 7,133 points in his first attempt at the measure of 10 general skill events. His score was also the highest by a high school student in the history of the State.
On Saturday at Top 8 he won the 110 high obstacles in 14.15 and 300 obstacles in 38.07. Both brands were better and personal tops in the section this season.
His high obstacle is approaching barrier 14.0.
“That is the goal at this time,” said Haven. “With more careers and good competition, I think it can happen.”
Ellie McCuskey-Hay of St. Ignatius was the best individual artist in the girl’s meeting, winning the 100 (11.55), 200 (23.96) and the length of long (18-9 ½). He almost brought a room first in the 4 × 100 relay, loading through the section of the house in the anchor leg, inventing a deficit and finishing only cats. Both teams were recorded in 48.39.
“I want PR in the 100, run Sub-1.5,” said McCuskey-Hay. “I am right there, it’s just a matter of assembling everything, getting out of the blocks a little faster and staying a little longer.”
Mountain Views Hannah Rutherford, the finalist of the second place in the state 400 a year ago, won his specialty in 54.82, a disappointing moment for her, if not for anyone else.
“I hoped to spend less than 54 years,” he said. “I hope to break the CCS record (52.83 established by Leslie Maxie de Mills in 1984). Definitely a difficult goal, but I think that if things come together and train well next month or so, it is definitely within reach.”
The 53.70 Rutherford, a Stanford commitment, executed last year at the state meeting is the fastest third in the history of CCs
McCuskey-Hay and Rutherford with UP in 200 with the San Ignacio Junior has just taken Rutherford, 23.96 to 24.00.
The greatest innovative performance in the match came almost Inarguffy by Matthe Lacasia de Woodsis, who won the children 400 in 47.22, the fastest tenth in the history of CCS. In his first year of career, the best best in Lacasia was 48.88, so his time on Saturday was an improvement of interns.
“He said he lost three years of his life playing football,” said Woodsis coach Jumps, Mesha Spivey. “Football scholarships are difficult to get. A athletics scholarship for UC Davis is already sacrificed. Highly intelligent, very trained. I guarantee you, at the end of this season that will have for beyond it.”
Sineth Andrabadu and Jonas Petty de Hillsdale, Jonas Petty, exchanged in children 100 and 200, Andrabady won 100 in 10.65 with Petty Second (10.71). Petty won the 200 in 21.50 with Andrabadu Right Beind in the second (21.51).
Luke Lewis de Serra, twice CCS champion and Stanford committed, won the bullet launch in 58-11 ½. He has deciphered the 60 -foot barrier twice this season.
“In practice I am launching 62, 63,” Lewis said. “I want to launch 65, continue extending Serra’s record, he beat my father, who launched 63-4 at high school (in Lincoln-San Francisco).”
Evan Usher Tok of Woodside in second place in the 57-6 ½ shot. Usher, a outstanding corridor in football for the last two years, returned to win the album with a release or 169-0. In his first year throwing the album, Usher has the best brand in the CCS in 172-1.
So will it be football or athletics at the university?
“I am thinking about the athletics of the College of San Mateo,” said Usher, where he would love CSM’s release coach, Mike Lewis, Luke’s father. “I am super excited, it is very fun. The passion you need to play at a high level (as a runner) is something I don’t have.”
