Tartans Excel at Track & Field Quad Meet
St. Margaret's swept the group league event Thursday.
The Tartan track and field program picked up three wins in both the boys and girls' programs in their season opener vs. Saddleback High School, Calvary Chapel-Santa Ana, and Estancia High School.
The 4x100m team consisting of Malia Todd, Sophia Kistler, Sophia Karahalios, and Coco Johnson started off the girls on the right foot and dominated the track to win the race by 10 meters. It would be a big day for Coco Johnson, who led the Tartans with another pair of wins in the 400m and the 4x400m, and a 2nd-place finish in the 200m.
Sarah Bendzick and Joyce Li also played a massive part in the Tartan wins by placing 1st and 2nd in all the distance events and positioning themselves as runners to watch throughout the season. Ava Klausner would also have a big day by placing 1st in the high jump with a clearance of 4'2" and placing 3rd in the long jump.
The Tartans won all three of their match-ups:
St. Margaret's- 117 vs. Saddleback- 1
St. Margaret's- 105 vs. Estancia- 16
St. Margaret's- 72 vs. Calvary Chapel- 53
On the boys' side, Everett Capelle led the Tartans from the start with a razor-close win in the 1600m, which gave the boys the first win of the day, and he would follow that win up with another victory in the 800m and a 2nd place finish in the 3200m.
Caden Gazzaniga, the seasoned vet, would also produce crucial points by scoring in all 4 of his events which included a win in the 400m with a time of 55.14. Caden also helped lead the 4x4 consisting of Ryan Sheikholeslami, Kaden Chen, and Evan Causee to an exciting come-from-behind victory. Pierce Frankfort contributed to the Tartan win, scoring in all three of his distance events.
The Tartans won all three of their match-ups:
St. Margaret's- 72 vs. Saddleback- 50
St. Margaret's- 80 vs. Estancia- 34
St. Margaret's- 88 vs. Calvary Chapel- 34
"It's a great start to our season! I think the team needed to believe that they belong in this new league, and after tonight, they finally realized just that," said head coach Edgar Vazquez. "We are not only proud of our returners and how they competed, but as a staff, we are also excited at our new young talent and how they will contribute to this team. Both teams fought hard and earned every point, but ultimately, this is a family, and it was a joy to watch the team rally for each other in our season debut."
