Dos Pueblos’ girls track team became the best in the city once again Thursday, beating San Marcos for the first time in four years, 80-46.
The Charger boys won their side of things 97-31.
“This was kind of a changing of the guard in the Channel League that everyone was aware of,” said DP coach Dave Kuderka. “San Marcos graduated a huge group of outstanding girls last year, so this is something we were kind of waiting for.”
DP juniors Samantha and Carly Wopat combined for a whopping 32 points on the day. Samantha won the triple jump, high jump and long jump while her twin sister won the shot put and discus. Sophomore sensation Erin Ristig won the 200-meter race by just .001 over San Marcos’ Elysia Hodges in a photo finish, while also winning the 400 and anchoring DP’s winning relay squads.
Kuderka also highlighted Marina Plesons, who was asked to step up and run a leg of the 4×400 and ended up with a blazing split time of 60.9 seconds. Erin Campbell won the 800 by holding off San Marcos’ Danielle Gemberling, winning in a personal-best 2:21.
Gemberling did, however, win the 1600 for the Royals, and Hodges picked up victories in the 100 and 100 hurdles.
“DP is really talented, and I thought we were right there in every race. We had a great day, but we just don’t have as many scorers,” said Royals coach Marilyn Hantgin.
While Wopat was the prominent name atop the girls leader-board, the name Scarvelis stood out on the boys side as Steven Scarvelis won the 110 and 300 hurdles handily while Nicholas Scarvelis dominated the throws.
Isaiha Brown was ahead of the pack in the sprints, winning the 100 and 200 while contributing on both winning relay teams.
No race was as close as the Ristig-Hodges duel, but the boys 800 was a nail-biter as Dos Pueblos’ Nathaniel Block overtook San Marcos’ Jansen Dahill in the final 300 meters to win by less than a second.
“That’s a first-time thing for him to be in a varsity-level competition and get a win like that,” said Kuderka of Block. “It was a surprise, but he’s been putting in the miles and working hard at it.”
San Marcos’ Bennie Kirkwood won the high jump by clearing six-feet, while DP’s Patrick Smith and Anthony Houston won the long and triple jump, respectively.
If DP wants to have a shot at winning the league, it will have to go through a formidable Ventura program next week.
