Track and field succeeds despite bad weather

The track and field team battled the weather at the Coast Conference Championships and made its presence known with three conference champions.

The meet took place at City College of San Mateo from April 23 to April 26.

“The wind played a big role,” said David Flynn, head coach.

Sophomore Alyana Nicolas won the pole vault, being the only one to make a jump at a height of 2.94 meters.

Other standouts include Sophomore Jayme Gonzalez, who excelled in the discus-throw, javelin-throw, shot put and hammer-throw.
