Quick Notes on our Season Preview....
As we continue to work on our 2012 Riverside County preview, here are some quick notes.... these are ...
2012 California Indoor State Meet
With Great Oak and La Sierra sending the largest groups up to this year's California Indoor State Meet, a number of athletes highlighted the weekend. In the end, we saw some incredible efforts here and when you consider how it is only the 3rd week of January - it makes the results even more impressive. For complete results, go to http://www.flashwest.com/12Meets/12RFDhs/
Great Oak senior Brandon Messerly won the Boys' Mile with an outstanding time of 4:24.20. Keep in mind, these athletes are running on an indoor banked turned which hinders their cadence throughout the race. We would estimate that the effort would be right below a 4:20 effort!
Our Riverside County record holder, Tanya Sapa of La Sierra won the Girls' Shot Put with an awesome 44 foot effort! Looks like she is right on track to go beyond her record setting effort from 2011....
Vista Murrieta freshman Jasmyne Graham shined as well with her 2nd place effort in the 55 hurdles along (8.01) with an 18'1" 3rd place effort in the long jump.
In the relays, Great Oak's girls shined in ending the meet with the winning effort in the 4x400! Their impressive 4:06.61 effort tells you that they expect to go out and eclipse their 3:48 time from 2011! Earlier, they took 2nd place in the 4x145 relay with a solid time of 75.82.
Great Oak's boys also did not disappoint in the relays, as they just missed winning in the 4x145 relay. This is why we electronically time meets as their 68.14 was just short of Colony's 68.13!
Other top five performances:
Boys Shot Put = 5th place Junior Nick Ponzio (Great Oak) 52'3.25"
Boys High Jump = 5th place Junior Diego Felix (Coachella Valley) 6'2"
Girls 100 = 4th place Senior Khala Taylor (Great Oak) 7.19
Girls 4x800 = Great Oak - 10:29.54
Boys 4x800 = Great Oak - 8:59.29
Girls Mile = 3rd place Freshman Maiya Larsen (Great Oak) 5:30.17
Girls 600 = 3rd place Sophomore Crystal Tejeda (Norte Vista) 1:30.95
Girls 800 = 3rd place Junior Kiara McIntosh (Paloma Valley) 2:23.82
Girls 3200 = 5th place Junior Miranda Kewley (Great Oak) 11:48.59
Boys 3200 = 3rd place junior Omar Caro (Norte Vista) 9:31.83

We would love to invite all of you to attend the 1st Annual Panther Parlaufs at Corona High School on February 18th. This is a great event with teams of five compete in an 8x200 relay Parlauf style. Create two teams with your top five sprinters, your top five distance kids and see which one emerges out on top! We're offering 2 for 1 deal if you bring two teams. Email us at allamricn@sbcglobal.net for more information.
2012 is here...!!!!
We're currently working on highlighting the top returners coming into the 2012 season while getting ready for the California Indoor State Meet up in Fresno.
Scroll down below and you will be able to view the top returning athletes on the girls' side - boys are next! For the girls - check out how much La Sierra's girls dominate the throws here in Riverside County! Meanwhile, we return the strongest group of distance studettes in our history.
Who will have freshmen that come in make immediate impacts? Roosevelt adds multitalented April Sutton into the mix (2:18 in the 800m) while Jasmyne Graham joins the deep crew at Vista Murrieta. Graham impressed early on at the Indoor Qualifying meet while already coming in with a 14.04 second 100 meter hurdle resume.
We're anticipating an incredible season as Riverside County is loaded with talent. We will also break down the top returning athletes for Divisions I and II, while hoping to get to Divisions III and IV.
Looking forward to this weekend, Great Oak is sending a phenomonal 46 athletes up to Fresno for this weekend's festivities. Both of their squads will be looking to end the season on top of our team rankings while holding off Southwestern League rival - Vista Murrieta! Meanwhile, Roosevelt's squads look to be as strong as ever as both of their groups will be looking to break up the SWL hierarchy here in 2012!
We apologize for all of the delays as we are continuing to look at cleaning up the website and making it easier to view.
Vista Murrieta and Great Oak Shine at Nike Team Nationals
After capturing the inaugural 2010 Nike Team National Championships and finally winning the Division I CIF Title, expectations were high for the crew from Vista Murrieta! Here in 2011, they were able to hold off a talented Long Beach Poly for another CIF Title, but were unable to defend their national title. Loyola of Los Angeles made up for losing the California State Title for the victory while VM was there until the end for 2nd place. Jovante Slate and Bernard Quinn captured victories in their individual event - the long jump and 400 meters, respectively! Surprising most, including us here at RCTF, Great Oak not only qualified for the meet for catapulted themselves to an impressive 5th place! Karson Fronk won the 1600 while Kyle Strawn took 3rd place in both the shot put and discus. GO Head coach Doug Soles became the first coach to qualify for the Nike Nationally sponsored meets for BOTH Cross Country and Track & Field. And, to boot, he is an Oregon native....coming back home twice in the same school year and on Nike's tab! With live streaming coverage, it was awesome to watch two of our best squads go at it with the very best from around the United States! Congrats to both squads! Last but definately not least, San Jacinto's Immanual Hutchinson captured the USATF Junior Title in the 800 with an astounding 1:48.56 - eclipsing his own county record set three weeks ago at the California State Prelims!
Slater, Hutchinson Win State Titles - Two More Records!
Under gloomy and wet skies all throughout the meet, the 2011 California State Meet endured the uncharacterstic weather. Only in 1993 do we know of another state meet hampered by rain. Riverside County athletes definately did their best to shine through though.. In the end, a host of Riverside County athletes earned medals. Climbing to the very top of the awards stand were two athletes.... Vista Murrieta's Jovante Slater in the long jump and Immanuel Hutchinson in the 800 meters. Slater unleashed an awesome 24-10.5 foot effort into a slight wind to secure the lead for good. Slater's effort is only 2nd to Bobby Bonds' 1964 25-3 effort in county history. We have no way of verifying the wind conditions for Bonds' effort so Slater could very well be our best ever in county history. Also consider that Slater accomplished this feat on a sore hamstring in the moist and cool conditions! Meanwhile, Hutchinson was able to hold off a very determined field. Despite making the state meet in 2009 here, Hutchinson was not on anybody's radar until the last three weeks. Competing into the postseason in the difficult 400-800 combo was often questioned by us and may have led to him not making it back to the state meet as a junior, but you could tell that there was renewed sense of focus for the RCC-bound senior. Congrats to both Jovante and Immanuel! We also saw a number of runner-up medals earned. Disappointed, Roosevelt's boys settled for 2nd place in the 400 Relay as they were outrun by the Oaks Christian on the anchor leg. But, the senior-laden Rancho Verde girls moved up here in the past two weeks and took 2nd place as well. A huge surprise here was that of Indio's Keithyon Moten in the 110 Hurdles. He took 2nd place after not being ranked in the top 10 in the state until recent weeks. Perhaps, the two highlights of the meet for Riverside County athletes was that of ML King Lane Werley and Vista Murrieta Erika Reddish. After Werley shattered just about every county record this past Cross Country season, only the 3200 meter county record lied in his path. After close calls the past two weeks, Werley leaned his way to a 8:53.21, barely eclipsing the old county record held by current JW North distance coach, Steve Alvarez. Werley splits were incredible as he went 4:29-4:24 for his 4th place finish in the deepest race in state meet history (13 boys breaking 9:00!) <br />LANE WERLEY'S RACE:(video doesn't capture last lap)
Great write-up: http://www.eteamz.com/kingtrackandfield/ In the fastest girls 1600 meter race in state meet history, Reddish broke her own county record with a 4:50.52 effort. That has won past state meets, but here in 2011 - it was only good enough for 9th place! Her time would have been 3rd at the 2010 meet... An amazing meet for sure, Roosevelt's girls 400 relay team earned 3rd place medals along with Rancho Verde senior Ashley Marshall in the 100 meters. La Sierra sophomore Tanya Sapa took 3rd place in the girls shot put as well. Great Oak's Karson Fronk was part of the fastest state meet boys 1600 ever, like the girls, and raced to a new personal best of 4:10.63. This usually places one in the top five, but Fronk settled for 7th place. Earning 4th place medals were Ramona's Zach Lewis in the 300 Hurdles and Rancho Verde's Gabby Estell in the 200 meters. Both of Great Oak's 4x400 Relays took 5th place while fellow SW League foe, Peter Chapman of Murrieta Valley also earned a 5th place medal in the pole vault. Vista Murrieta's Bernard Quinn also finished 5th place in the 400 meters.
