How they will finish is anybody's guess after the three clashed in the Masters Meet Friday night at Cerritos College Cerritos College is a public comprehensive community college founded in 1955 located in Norwalk, California. It was named after Rancho Los Cerritos, a ranch that served prominently in the region in the 19th century. . Rideaux held off Fargas, the defending state champion, to win in 10.62 to 10.68. Fletcher, the 1997 state runner-up, was third in 10.84. Friday's race was the second meeting between Rideaux, Fargas and Fletcher this year. Fletcher won the first battle with Rideaux and Fargas second and third in the Northidge-Alemany Relays March 14. ``To me, all I want is first place,'' Fargas said. ``It doesn't matter how many people are in your race if you get first.''

Fargas first used the blocks three weeks ago in the Mission League finals and continued to use them throughout postseason competition. In the state meet, however, Fargas will be forced to use conventional blocks. ``It didn't bother me when I was running but it would have hurt pretty bad to get in those blocks,'' Fargas said. ``It wouldn't have been comfortable. Next week, hopefully I'll be able to do it.'' Fargas was up to the task in the 1,600-meter relay, teaming with Rod Arzu on the Knights' team that finished third in a school-record 3:15.46. Fargas moved Notre Dame from fifth to third with a 47.2 anchor to help the Knights dip under the previous school record of 3:15.54 set in placing third in last year's state! meet. The USC-bound Arzu was also third in the 400 in 48.19 to earn a state meet berth for the second consecutive year. Ryan Meuse of Simi Valley Simi Valley (sē`mē, sĭm`ē), city (1990 pop. 100,217), Ventura co., SW Calif. in an oil, fruit, and farm region; laid out 1887, inc. 1969. won the boys' 800 in a season-best 1:54.28 for his second consecutive Masters Meet title. Canyon junior Lauren Fleshman also turned in a yearly-best to win the girls' 3,200 in 10:46.44 to earn her second berth in the state meet. Oliver Jackson of Royal, the Ventura County long jump and triple jump champion, was victorious in the long jump at 22-9-1/4. Notre Dame freshman Sierra Hauser-Price qualified in three events for the state meet and had a hand in four school records. Hauser-Price clocked 12.04 and 24.17 in the 100 and 200 with fifth- and fourth-place efforts despite headwinds. Hauser-Price, a guard on the Notre Dame basketball team, anchored the Knights' 1,600 relay to third in 3:51.00 for third. She also ran the second leg of Notre Dame's 400 relay which finished sixth in 47.65 and missed qualifying for the state meet by two hundredths of a second.The top five finishers in each event advanced to the state meet next Friday Next Friday is the 2000 sequel to Friday , which depicts the neighborhood of South Los Angeles in a comedic sense. The hero, Craig Jones (Ice Cube), leaves home and moves in with his lottery winning and sex-crazed Uncle Elroy (Don "D.C." Curry) in Rancho Cucamonga. and Saturday at Cerritos. In the boys' 100 Friday night, Fargas and Rideaux got the jump on the field at the start. Rideaux build a slight lead at 70 meters and held on to the tape. Fletcher, who also finished fourth in the 200 in 21.49, was never in contention. ``I saw him to my right,'' Fargas said about Rideaux. ``I was trying to run him down. I closed pretty good at the end but he stayed strong at the end.'' Fargas' victory over Fletcher evened the season series at 3-3. Neither has won more than two in a row. The Mission League rivals have also split their last 14 races over the last two years. In the Southern Section championships last Saturday, Fletcher and Rideaux posted the fastest times in the state at 10.36 with Fargas and Long Beach Poly's Kareem Kelly Kareem Kelly (born April 1, 1981 in Los Angeles, California) is a Canadian Football League wide receiver.

Friday night's race, however, turned into a three-man affair after a false start by Kelly. Any hopes of quick times Friday night were also dashed by a brisk Brisk as a proper name may refer to:

I am not worried about the time. I am just glad I qualified.'' So was Meuse, who will attend Stanford. The state's top returner from the last season has been unable to approach his personal-best of 1:52.57 this season because of illness and lack of competition from meet rainouts. Meuse appears to be returning to the form of his junior year. Six days after capturing the Southern Section Division I title, Meuse dipped under 1:55.00 for the first time this season Friday. |
