San Marcos’ track team knew it wasn’t going to pick up a win against mighty Ventura on Thursday, but the beauty of track and field is that the person in the next lane can’t keep you from a personal best.
Danielle Gemberling did just that, as she finished second in the mile but ran a PR of 5:22.95. Evan Bradford won the boys mile by a less than a half-second in 4:32.49, while Jansen Dahill squared off as the lone Royal amongst a pack of Cougars and ran a personal best 2:05.21 in the 800.
Elysia Hodges’ stellar season continued with the Royal speedster winning the girls 400 (62.06) and 200 (26.36). Hannah McDaniel took second to Hodges in the 200 and second to Kalley Ridwgay in the high jump. Ridgway, who recently returned from a back problem, cleared the bar at 5-2.
Bennie Kirkwood won the boys high jump at 6-2.
In the end, the Cougar boys won 107.5-19.5, while the Ventura girls won 91-35.
“It was a really nice day and the kids competed hard. We just don’t match up with Ventura on too many things,” said coach Marilyn Hantgin.
