Central Coast Section shot putters put on quite a big show Saturday, May 23, at the CCS track and field championships. Heck, they put on quite a big show all season.
Case Jacobson
The culmination of the big show did not disappoint, as Woodside native Case Jacobson delivered the boys’ shot put title for St. Francis at the CIF State Track & Field Championships Saturday at Buchanan High School in Clovis.
Maxime Morelle
Jacobson uncorked a championship throw of 60 feet, 11 1/4 inches to inch out Sacred Heart Prep senior Maxime Morelle, who finished runner-up with a throw of 60-10. San Mateo senior Yianni Fitzgerald also climbed the state podium, taking fifth at 57-8 3/4.
Jacobson, Morelle and Fitzgerald finished one-two-three at the CCS championships.
Jacobson earned two state medals, also placing seventh in boys’ discus with a personal record 177-5.
Menlo junior Henry Hauser also earned two medals in Clovis.
Hauser grabbed an eight-place finish in the boys’ 1,600 in 4 minutes, 8.88 seconds. The junior earned a personal record in the 1,600 preliminaries in 4:08.42, ranking 11th in the field, just good enough to qualify for the 12-runner finals.
The Menlo boys’ 4x800 team earned the final podium spot, as Joseph Hurd, Oliver Olbekson, Amary Srinivasan and Hauser claiming ninth place in 7:50.67.
Menlo sophomore Tres Onyejekwe also medaled, taking fourth in the boys’ 300 hurdles in 37.03 seconds, with Harker senior Brady Tse taking the state championship in 36.23. Harker is coached by former Menlo head coach Jorge Chen.
Crystal senior Anna Salter earned a fourth-place finish by running the 1,600 of her life, clocking a personal record of 4:45.29. Salter ran the third fastest time in Friday’s preliminaries of 4:47.08. The distance specialist opted out of running the girls’ 3,200.
The Carlmont girls’ 4x800 relay team claimed a fifth-place podium finish, as Alexandra Farrell, Katelyn Elliott, Daniela Cuadros and Isabella Schuett medaled in 9:10.13.
Menlo-Atherton junior Evan Chopra dashed to a sixth-place finish in the boys’ 800 in 1:52.05.
