Battling back from adversity, Carrie Verdon (12) sprinted past four of the state's best distance runners in the closing moments to claim third place in the 3200m at the California state track & field championships on Saturday. Pushing aside the wet weather, a sore throat, and a bumpy ride that had the diminutive star trading elbows with competitors, Verdon used an impressive kick over the final 120m to take back ground given up in the previous lap and a half. That gap was partly due to a counting mistake that had the junior veteran briefly confused as to whether or not she was on her final lap. Only after passing the infield clock at the 200m mark was Verdon certain that she was on her final turn. Luckily, there was just enough race left for the distance ace to reel in her rivals, including Rebecca Merha of Palos Verdes and 1600m runner-up Alli Billmeyer of Torre Pines. Verdon cross the line just six one-hundredths of a second ahead of Billmeyer, in 10:22.50. The time sets a new Campolindo school record by seven seconds! At Friday's trials, Rachel Meadows (12) wrapped up her surprising 2011 season with a 5:14 finish in the 1600m. Check out results and video of the California state championships HERE! May 31, 2011
Cougar track & field alumnus and 3200m school record holder Tom Hale (71) greeted parents and athletes at Tuesday evening's awards dinner. The former distance running star, who finished 4th at the 1971 California state championships in what was long considered the greatest distance race in American high school history, shared his memories about training, racing and lessons learned through a lifetime in the running community. Hale attributed much of his success as a business owner to the fundamental character traits he developed through running, and encouraged athletes to use the athletic experience to learn about themselves. Hale's biking and hiking adventure company is featured HERE: Backroads.com May 28, 2011 Hadley Swanson (13) began this past weekend's assault on the Cougar all-time list with her 400m personal best to finish 11th overall at Friday's North Coast Section Meet of Champions trials in Edwards Stadium on the UC Berkeley campus. The time of 59.23 is the third fastest ever run by a Campolindo athlete. Additional highlights on Friday included Sara Mostatabi's (11) career best of 5:16.68 in the 1600m to qualify for Saturday's finals. Mostatabi was the third Cougar to advance in that event, behind teammates Carrie Verdon (12) and Rachel Meadows (12). Meadows' 5:05.78 trial performance was a seven second improvement, moving her up to 8th on the Campolindo record board. Also moving on, Meghan Nelson (11) shaved off another few hundredths from her 300 Hurdle time, finishing in 46.48. Check out complete NCS Meet of Champions results and video HERE! May 21, 2011 With the familiar winds of the Granada High School stadium battering runners on the home stretch, conditions were less than ideal on Saturday for the athletes of the NCS Tri-Valley Area leagues looking to qualify to next weekend's Meet of Champions.
