ACA trackster great performances were plentiful on Day 1 of the DAL Championships, with finals in certain field events and qualifiers for many of next weekend’s final events.

The Boys and Girls teams had great performances in the qualifiers also, including:

Paul Kuhner–1st place qualifier in the 100 and 200

Trevor Rogers–2nd place qualifier in the 200

Logan Farzan–2nd place qualifier in the 800 and 1600

River Lockwood–1st place qualifier in the 300 meter hurdles and 3rd in the 100 hurdles

Olivia Williams–1st place qualifier in the 1600 meters in a blazing 5:00, Olivia’s 2nd fastest mark at 1600

Sprinters abound at ACA, and true to form the girls team will send three athletes to the 100 finals–Haley Chelemedos, Cameron Thornton and Genevieve Tarsa and the boys will send five athletes in 100–Paul Kuhner, Matthew Schwarz, Deonte Littlejohn, Colin Glick, and Niko White and four athletes in the 200 including DAL leaders Kuhner and Rogers. Thornton and Tarsa will also compete in the girls 200 finals.

The distance teams also faired very well with the Girls team sending three runners in the 800–Megan Yee, Neve Murphy and Cameron Powell and four in the 1600–Olivia Williams, Megan Yee, Neve Murphy and Anju Sekhon.  Joining Logan Farzan in the 800 and 1600 will be sophomore Harry Zimmerman who ran well Saturday despite how he felt.

Queued up nicely for next week’s DAL Championship Day 2 Saturday 5/4 in Moraga, at the high school, starts with a ‘c’.
