Irvine boys out to defend title at track and field championships
BY BRENT SHAVER STAFF WRITER
The Irvine High boys track and field team will try and defend its Pacific Coast League title this Friday night at the league finals at Irvine Stadium. Irvine goes into the meet in second place after the dual meet season. Corona del Mar is on top of the standings. “We will have to beat them at the league meet to get a share of the league title,” Irvine coach Brenton Youngren said. “It is going to be a challenge.” Irvine is led by Brandon Phillips, Nehemiah Jones, Ryan Torres and Nik Abele. Phillips has broken a school record in the long jump, going 22-6 1 /2, run under 50 seconds in the 400 meters and gone 39.02 in the 300 hurdles. Jones tied the school record in the high jump earlier this season with a mark of 6-4. Torres has been solid, running 4:31 in the 1,600 meters and Abele has thrown near 160 feet in the discus, and more than 50 feet in the shot put.
The Irvine girls varsity team will try and hold on to second place at league finals. Corona del Mar is expected to win the title.
The Vaquero girls team has gotten solid efforts all year long from throwers Margarita Matiks and Xel Ha and distance runner Carrie Shargay.
Matiks won the county title in the discus event and holds one of the top marks in the state this season. Her personal best this season is 141-11.
She has also captured titles at the Surf City Classic and Trabuco Hills Invitational and was third at the prestigious Arcadat Invitational.
“She deserves everything this year, given the work she has put in,” Youngren said.
Ha was a double-placer at the county meet and Shargay finished second in her 3,200-meter race.
