The Clairemont Boys completed an undefeated season, winning by the score of 65-53 for the Harbor League championship. The Girls meet was close, with Coronado winning by one point, 54-53.

Jake Ruzevick won all three distance runs with times of 4:44 for the 1,600-meter run, 2:06.9 for the 800-meter run, and the winning time of 10:55.4 for the 3,200-meter run.

The Islanders were pretty much shut out of the sprints with the exception of Stephen Knuth, who placed third in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.7. The throwers had a good day, winning both the shot put and discus throws. Levi Lozano’s effort of 41 feet in the shot put was his personal best, while David Zodrow also set a personal best in the discus with a throw of 132 feet, 4 inches.

It should come as no surprise that state leader Jamie Klages won the high jump, this time with a jump of 5-feet, 5.5 inches. Klages still leads the state rankings in the event with her mark of 5-feet, 10.25 inches. Sarah Player placed second with a jump of 5-feet even.
