Tyler Mak was going to need a Serra record to bring home a state championship medal in the boys’ 300 meter hurdles. The senior delivered two record-breaking runs.
At Friday’s trials for the CIF Track and Field Championships Saturday in Clovis, Mak qualified for the finals with a time of 37.79 seconds, breaking the previous Serra record of 37.8 set by Doug Smith in 1981. Then, in Saturday’s finals, Mak obliterated his own record with a time of 37.5 to take third place in the state in the 300 hurdles.
Mak also teamed with the boys’ 4x400 team — along with Anthony Ovalle, Nate Sanchez and Scott Fitzpatrick — to take eighth place in the state at 3:19.39.
Menlo senior Robert Miranda took 12th place in the boys’ 3,200 with a 9:07.57, a personal record and the best time of any runner from the Central Coast Section this season.
Miranda’s teammate Charlotte Tomkinson took sixth place in the girls’ 800 meter with a 2:10.58, marking a new personal record for the Menlo sophomore.
Terra Nova junior Carly Watts took sixth place in the girls’ shot put with a distance of 43 feet, 6 inches, falling just shy of her personal record of 43-7 set at the Peninsula Athletic League championships May 4.
The best showing among girls from San Mateo County was St. Ignatius freshman Megan Ronan — a Burlingame native — who took fifth place in the girls’ long jump with a distance of 18-10 1/2.
