Other heat winners on Thursday included North Hollywood's Paul Muite, Kennedy's Bree Akesson and Cleveland's Jaime Jones. The top five teams and the top five individuals not on qualifying teams advanced to next week's City finals. BenMohamed, who won the City Section 1,600-meter title last spring, was hardly pushed in his race Thursday, covering the three-mile course in 15 minutes, 34 seconds. Hamilton's Kenzo Bergeron was a distant second in 15:46 followed by Poly (language) Poly - 1. A polymorphic, block-structured language developed by D.C.J. Matthews at Cambridge in the early 1980s.

I was focused (today) on getting out fast and running my own race. I expected someone from Garfield to push me but it was just me (today).'' Next week, however, BenMohamed should find himself in tighter company in what could be a very competitive race for the individual title. Belmont's Manuel Lopez was supposed to be BenMohamed's top foe and was expected to easily win his heat but he was knocked off Thursday by North Hollywood's Muite during the day's other boys' heat. Muite, a senior who spent his first two years splitting time between running and basketball for the Huskies, showed a flash of hidden talent with a 5-second victory over Lopez, taking the heat in 15:14.
