Some days on the track are good, some are great.  With a sunny seventy degree day at the San Valley Ramon Valley track serving as the backdrop, the team’s performed well and the Dons posted many, many incredible performances, perhaps the best individual performance by an Acalanes track athlete in recent, if not school history (see Trevor Rogers below).

Nevis Murphy (1st), Olivia Williams (2nd), Megan Yee (3rd), sweeping the 800m (NCS #1, #3 & #4 respectively)

Trevor Rogers–Trevor gets his own category this week with one of most dominant individual days you will see on a track.  Trevor finished first in the high jump, long jump and 200 meters.  Trevor’s long jump, 23’0″, was the tie-second best in ACA history only behind his own record and is 2nd in the state this year. Trevor’s high jump,  6’4″, was a personal best and tied 7th in ACA history.  That history, with one exception, goes back to 1982 and prior, and he is 2″ inches away from Uncle Pete Rogers 1982 mark.  Finally, Trevor’s first  in the 200m at 22.44 was a personal best and also tied 7th in ACA history and 10th best in the state this year.  Epic day.
