Girls Steal DFAL Meet Title; Harland-Dunaway Lands 4th All-Time in Hurdles
The girls' distance squad accounted for 54 of the team's 99 points as the Cougars clawed their way to a 1-point victory over rival Miramonte at the 2014 Diablo Foothill Athletic League championship meet in Dublin of Friday evening.
Brighie Leach (15) and Mary Orders (15) provided the backbone, scoring in each of the 3 distance events. Leach won the 1600m and 3200m, and finished 2nd in the 800m to earn 28 points for her team. Orders was 4th in both the 1600m and 800m, and finished her day with a 3rd place effort in the 3200m.
Also taking on a lion's share of the burden, Ashley Bernardo (14) earned North Coast Section qualification in 4 events, including the 100m, where she finished 3rd.
Miranda Protzen (15) did her part with a 9-6 clearance in pole vault that added 8 points to the team score. Meanwhile, the freshman tandem of Mariah Brown (17) and Juliet Arnswald (17) punched their own tickets to the NCS Tri-Valley Meet with top 6 finishes in the 300 hurdles.
The girls' tenacity was capped with a runner-up finish in the 1600 relay, where the squad of Julie Hyatt (17), Sara Cella (16), Arnswald and Kristy Chiang (15) lowered its season best to 4:11.65.
Leading the boys was 110 hurdle champion Marcus Harland-Dunaway (14), who ran away from the field to clock the 4th fastest time in school history. The senior returned to the track an hour later to claim 2nd in the 300 hurdles with a new personal best of 40.56.
Aidan Goltra (14) contributed 18 points to his team's 2nd place finish. After finishing a step behind the 1600m winner, the senior cruised to victory in the 3200m.
Jack Shurtz (15) added 8 more points with a 2nd place in the discus while Jonathan Rowland (14) improved by 5 feet in the same event to capture 5th place.
Justin Pfaff (16) qualified on in the high jump with a 6-0 clearance good enough for 3rd place. Parker Lothamer (17) also grabbed a 3rd spot in the 800m while Harrison Hughes (14) picked up 6th place in both the high jump and the 100m.
