SBCC women’s medley relay takes second

The SBCC women’s distance medley relay team placed second on a rainy Friday in the WSC Relays track meet at Ventura College. Cecilia Instebo (1200m), Margot Valenzuela (400m), Ayla Granados (800m) and Erika Schaeffer (1600m) combined to finish in 13:01.08.

Kelli Johnson was second in the high jump as she cleared 1.65 meters for the second straight week. Kate Earle was fourth in the 100m hurdles (17.17).

The Vaquero men took fourth in the 800m Sprint Medley Relay with a team of Derrick Dallmeyer (100m), Adam Cotner (100m), Justin Duran (200m) and James Pearlstone (400m) finishing in 1:40.79.

The top individual performance was Garrett Edwards, who ran fourth in the 3000m (9:10.3).

“The weather was foul and the conditions weren’t great for a track meet,” said coach Scott Fickerson. “Both pole vaults were cancelled, along with the discus. I think they held the men’s shot put but the results were destroyed in the rain.”

SBCC’s distance runners will go to the Occidental Distance Carnival on Friday, March 11, with the rest of the team competing at the Northridge Relays on March 12.
