MOORPARK — Wilson junior sprinter Clara Adams stormed down the homestretch to win individual titles in the 200 and 400 at the CIF Southern Section Division 1 track and field finals at Moorpark High School Saturday.
Adams, who ran 23.53 in the 200 and 52.98 in the 400, scored 20 points by herself. She led Wilson to an impressive 1, 2, 3, 4 finish in the girls 400, which gave the Bruins 29 total points in the program’s most dominant event.
Wilson won the team title with 96 points. It was the program’s second consecutive CIF-SS championship. Poly finished second with 50 points.
Bruins junior sprinter Saniah Varnado won the girls 300 hurdles title in 41.27. She also finished second in the 400 (53.53) and fourth in the 100 hurdles (14.23). Varnado scored 23 points for her team across three individual events.
Wilson senior Journii Spencer won the girls triple jump title with a mark of 38 feet and 3.25 inches.
The Bruins will look to run and jump well at the CIF-SS Masters Meet at Moorpark High on Saturday, May 23. If all goes according to plan next weekend, Wilson will qualify enough athletes to seek the program’s fourth consecutive CIF State title at Buchanan High in Clovis on May 29 and 30.
