Swanson, Jayachandran Set Records; Five Advance to State Championships

On her last attempt in Saturday's final round of the NCS Meet of Champions long jump competition, Hadley Swanson (13) elevated the school record over 18 feet for the first time. Her 18-3 mark was good enough for 3rd place and advanced the junior to the CIF state championships, to be held next weekend in Buchanan High School's Memorial Stadium.

Swanson had already punched her ticket to Fresno a day earlier, finishing tied for 3rd place in the high jump.

Rhea Jayachandran (12) earned her state meet spot with a record setting performance in the 300 hurdles, where the senior finished 4th in 45.06. Jayachandran also competed in the triple jump on Friday, where she improved her 3rd all-time mark to 35-4.

Friday also included the boys' pole vault competition, where Andres DelValle (12) battled through rainy conditions to clear 13-6, which landed him 4th place, and qualification to state.

In Saturday's distance finals, both Thomas Joyce (12) and Carrie Verdon (12) continued the Cougar tradition of state meet appearances. Joyce, who built an impressive lead with 62 and 63 second splits for his second and third laps in the 1600m, was caught just before the finish by a hard charging Trevor Fuhriman of Monte Vista. Joyce's time of 4:13.40 was the second fastest of his career.

Joyce returned later in the day to finish 3rd in the 3200m.

Verdon defended her 3200m section title, winning in 10:30.76, the fastest MOC mark in over a decade.

After a 4:01.63 clocking in Friday's preliminary round of the girls' 1600 relay, second fastest in school history, Swanson, Jayachandran, Kendall Coffee (13) and Erin Ross (12), nearly equaled the mark in Saturday's finals to take 6th place, and a step on the medal stand.
