CIF Division 1 Finals

Division 1 CIF Finals was at Cerritos College yesterday and it was probably the best meet in the nation in regards to competition.  Especially since Texas has cancelled all track meets due to the Swine Flu.  Every school brought their best and every athlete tried their hardest.   It was a fantastic meet to say the least.

I could not be any more proud of how our athletes responded to this high level of competition. Chad Rozean made it in the 400, ranked 9th overall and is still running good enough times to get into state.  Tough year to be a 400 runner.  Chad still looks to improve his time at Masters this Friday and could move to the state meet in Fresno. Chad is currently the fastest 400 runner in school history.  

Mickey Miela ran great in the 110 hurdles and after only a year and 3 meets under his belt in this race his improvement has been astounding.  Mickey is currently the second best runner in the 110 hurdles in school history.  He is the third best in the 300 hurdles. 

Our 4x400 team raced their hearts out last Saturday and made it to CIF Finals by five one-thousandths of a second.  We looked to improve even more and make it to Masters and even State by breaking 3:20.00.  I believed this to be possible, however would have been a giant milestone to pass.  We ran 3:17.30!!!!!  It honestly was one of the single most incredible events and performance I have ever seen.  I was elated!  From lane 9 Kevin Feazel ran 50.7, Mickey Miela ran 49.9, Janzten Oshier ran 49.4 and Chad Rozean ran a 47.3 to seal the deal. This group of boys are the second fastest in school history and look to run even faster, from a better lane, on Friday at the Masters meet.  

All in all, a great day to be a Trabuco Hills fan, runner, supporter.  We all should be very proud of our boys.
