Even though it is hard to improve on perfection, but the Culver City High School track teams, boys and girls, are raising the bar every week.
They are improving their times and marks while staying away from the injury bug.
Last week all four teams, boys and girls frosh-soph, and boys and girls varsity teams beat good El Segundo teams in a dual meet.
Last Thursday and Saturday, the Centaurs impressed in the always competitive 22nd annual Mira Cost Mustang Relays.
“Our kids did a great job at El Segundo and in the relays,” said distance coach Tom Fritizus.
“As a team, we are really coming along,” head coach Jahmal Wright. “Our relays are improving. Our individual performances are getting better. We would like to start running faster relay times but right now we are where we want to be.”
Last Saturday the Centaurs dominated the frosh-soph running events at the Mustang Relays.
Leading the way were Angel Morris and Guess Scott in the girls hurdles. In the field events, Jayden Porter and Nathan Stennet did well in the boys’ discus and Stennet placed high in the shotput.
On the varsity, Nia Garcia took first place in the girls’ 110 meter hurdles, Cahlil Hooper placed second in the 100 meters in a fast 10.94 and Cameryn Newman was second in the shotput.
Culver City’s next home meet is Thursday, April 14, against Hawthorne at 3 o’clock.
