![]() ![]() ![]() I started a little faster than I thought and then tried to keep going and get across that line.” “Going into it, I was just happy to be here, as a ninth grader at CCS finals,” Decleve said. She demolished her previous PR with a third-place finish in 56.27. (Raul Ebio – Santa Cruz Sentinel)Įqually dramatic was the run by Scotts Valley’s Decleve, who took the starting line in the 400 with the fifth-best time in the semifinals. With the three of them lined up in the lanes to my right side, I knew seeing them would push me.” Scotts Valley High’s Ana Decleve competes in the 400-meter final during the CCS Track and Field Championships at Gilroy High on Saturday. “My goal was to knock off at least one of those three. She edged Mitty’s Taylor Oden in 15.17, and finished behind two other Monarchs. The Mariners senior, seeded fifth, came in third in 15.15 to qualify for state. Manchester’s super 100 hurdles run required her to beat faster runners, particularly those from Archbishop Mitty. San Lorenzo Valley finished eighth in 9:43.09. In that event, Rafaela Putnam, Diana Alivov, Decleve and Boothby finished third in 9:21.30, behind only powerhouses from Saint Francis of Mountain View and Los Altos. I’m really excited to run with the competition there.”īoothby also won the 3,200 at the SCCAL Championships but passed on that event to concentrate on the other event that gave her an SCCAL title, the 4×800 relay. “After that, I said, ‘I’m gonna take the lead now.’ Qualifying for state was my main goal. “I was planning to let someone else lead,” Boothby said. Scott said she knows she has some things to work on for next week, as state opened at 11-9 last year and went up fast from there. Last year, she cleared 11-6 for the CCS title and her PR (personal record) is 12-1. She planted well and took off high but dislodged the bar. Scott’s best attempt at 11-6 was her third. “I wish I did better but at least I made it to state. Although both were unable to clear 11-6, Scott won the title because she cleared 11-0 on her first attempt whereas Williams did not. Scott and Branham’s Kendra Williams were the only two pole vaulters to clear 11 feet. The top three finishers in each event qualified for next weekend’s 103rd CIF State Track and Field Championships at Veterans Memorial Stadium at Buchanan High in Clovis, except for the 4×800 meter relays, where only two teams advanced. Jonelle Scott of Soquel High won the girls’ pole vault competition at the CCS Track and Field Championships at Gilroy High on Saturday. Two other big highlights came from Aptos senior Lena Manchester and Scotts Valley freshman Ava Decleve, as superb runs notched state meet invites for both. GILROY - Scotts Valley High’s Ashlyn Boothby and Soquel’s Jonelle Scott repeated as event champions at the Central Coast Section Track and Field Championships at Gilroy High on Saturday afternoon. ![]()
