CALI CONTENDERS!
Isaacs Flings Platter to School Record 136 Feet; Orders Churns Out 10:44.7ce Finish in 3200m to Crack Top Ten!
On her first throw in the preliminary round of competition at the 2010 California state championships, veteran Eva Isaacs (10) launched the platter nearly twelve feet beyond her previous best, outdistancing the rest of the NCS participants and setting a new Campolindo school record. The 136-8 mark was tops in her flight, and held up for an 11th place finish against the state's best.
Saturday evening's 3200m finals provided Grace Orders (11) just the right mix of pressure and excitement, along with relatively milder temperatures compared to the afternoon heat and humidity. The state meet veteran used a cooperative field to split 5:20 at the mile mark before picking off several competitors in the final half of the race. Orders crossed the line in 10:44.7ce, good for 9th place and just two seconds off the school record!

Kalish Soars to MOC Vault Title; Verdon, Isaacs Runners Up; Boys' Relay Lands Podium Spot with Second All-Time Mark
Putting aside his previous week's frustrations at the Tri-Valley Championships, Alex Kalish (10) soared through his first four heights without missing, on his way to a fifteen foot clearance that improved his own school record and won the NCS Meet of Champions pole vault title on Saturday at Berkeley's Edwards Stadium.
The victory earned Kalish a trip to the 2010 CIF State Championships on June 4th at Clovis High School. Joining Kalish on the trip will be Carrie Verdon (12), who continued her own climb up the record board with a runner up finish in the 1600m final, clocking the second fastest time in school history.
Securing her second consecutive State Meet appearance, Eva Isaacs (10) finished second in the discus with a toss of 121-10.
Saturday's MOC finals were topped by the boys' 1600 relay squad's exciting 6th place finish, featuring a 49.6 split from Michael Hoffman (10) to lead the quartet to the second all-time record board mark. Earlier in the day, relay anchor Matt Keeble (10) had already earned a second all-time mark in the 110 Hurdles!
Other outstanding performances included a four inch long jump improvement for Hadley Swanson (13), a third all-time mark for Grace Orders (11) in the 3200m, and Emily Brennan's (10) 800m trial effort in 2:17.4ce.
