NORCO:  The Wolves put together a strong all-around performance against Norco on Thursday, earning wins in all four divisions: Boys Varsity (101-26), Boys JV (110-11), Girls Varsity (99-28), and Girls JV (51-37).

It started with a statement from the jumpers. In the long jump, Imani Barfield led a 1-2-3-4 sweep for the girls (16-07.50), while Tyler Pinkney did the same on the boys side with a 20-03.00. The triple jump was equally impressive, with Lailani Dial winning the girls (31-06.00) and Colton Zeen taking the boys (42-03.50), joined on the podium by Shamar Graham and Robinson Forbes.

In the throws, Justin Coute continues to be a difference-maker, winning both shot put (49-06.00) and discus (138-10.00). Bailey Mann joined him with a discus win (106-04.00), and Kristen Mason took the girls shot put (32-08.50). The high jump saw Robinson Forbes clear 5-08.00 for the boys win, while Allison Kastle led a tie at 4-10.00 on the girls side.

On the track, the distance crew was strong. Andrew Hearn won the boys 1600m in 4:59.46, with Andrew Moyo close behind. Abbey Starling led the girls 1600m at 5:47.64. In the 800m, Smooth Watkins (2:06.28) and Kyra Christensen (2:29.76) both picked up wins, and Ethan Pendleton closed it out with a 3200m win at 10:53.34.

The hurdles belong to King this season. Zaina Vaughn won the girls 100m hurdles (16.23), and Jacob Cupples took the boys 300m hurdles (44.55), with strong support from Caelan Shelton and Vanessa Hope.

In the sprints, Amaya Lochard led the girls 100m (12.50), Princeton Lewis won the boys (11.21), and Aaliyah Richardson took the girls 200m (26.24). Caleb Lua also added a win in the boys 400m (51.97).
