FULL RESULTS

ARCADIA:  The Wolves stepped onto one of the biggest stages in high school track and field this weekend at the Arcadia Invitational, and they rose to the moment.

Our girls 4×800 got the weekend rolling in the right direction as Gracie Guzzetta, Abbey Starling, Jude Abu-Ghazaleh, and Natalie Drewitz opened things up with a new season best. On a stage where every second matters, the group came ready to compete and set the tone for the rest of the meet.

The boys 4×800 were up next and they did not disappoint. Bradley Quezada, Frank Stewart, Logan Carlson, and Maximo Zavaleta lined up in the Invitational section against some of the best teams in the nation and battled from start to finish. The Wolves placed 4th on the day with a huge 7:38, showing once again that they belong with the very best. Zavaleta brought it home in 1:50 on the anchor, a split faster than the current school record, to cap off a massive performance.

In the 4×100, the quartet of Amaya Lochard, Naomi Rudolph, Chiamaka Ezinwa, and Aaliyah Rudolph put together a season best of 47.75 and placed 3rd in their heat. The group looked sharp, confident, and continued to show the kind of speed that can make noise deep into the season.

In the field, Vanessa Hope came incredibly close to matching her personal best in the triple jump, landing a mark of 37’4. Justin Coute also earned his spot in the open shot put and delivered with a throw of 52’3 against a strong field.

On the track, Amaya Lochard continued her breakout season in the open 400, running a new personal best of 56.38. Another huge step forward, and another sign that the hard work is paying off.

The night closed with Maximo Zavaleta in the premier event of the evening, the Invitational 3200m. With some of the best runners in the nation on the line, Maximo was ready for the challenge and attacked the race with confidence. He delivered in a big way, running a huge personal best of 8:43 to break his own school record, set a new county record, and finish as the #1 California runner on the day.

Arcadia is where the nation’s best come to compete, and this weekend the Wolves showed exactly who they are. Big stage, big performances, and another reminder that this group is built to compete with anyone.
