A local contingent of some of the top runners and field athletes in the area turned in some impressive showings Saturday at the Sacramento Meet of Champions.<\/p>\n
Leading the way was Sonoma Academy junior Josie Hill, who broke a nearly 20-year-old meet record as she won the Invitational 800-meter race. Hill finished in 2 minutes, 7.34 seconds, over four seconds ahead of the second-place runner. While not a personal record, it\u2019s the third-fastest time in the event in the state this season and broke the old meet record of 2:07.84 set by Alex Kosinski in 2007. Kosinski is the former national high school record holder in the 1,600.<\/p>\n
While Hill was the local headliner, competitors from Casa Grande, Vintage and Justin-Siena also had strong showings.<\/p>\n
In other Invitational events, the Vintage boys 4\u00d7100 relay team of Mason Howell, Sean Butler, Ruben Sanchez and Angel Borrayo placed sixth with a time of 42.87, Justin-Siena senior Lainey Reiter took sixth in the girls\u2019 400 in 57.53 and Casa Grande senior Jack Dufour finished seventh in the boys\u2019 800 in 1:57.21.<\/p>\n
In standard varsity events, Grace Sheehan hit a new personal best in the triple jump as she hit a mark of 35 feet, 5.5 inches. She also placed seventh in the long jump with a leap of 16-01.5.<\/p>\n
Casa Grande senior Jackson Metzler placed 13th overall in the varsity boys long jump (19-05) and 15th in the 100 (11.08) while Justin-Siena junior Mackenzie Cutler placed 16th overall in the varsity girls 100 with a time of 12.58.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A local contingent of some of the top runners and field athletes in the area turned in some…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":287036,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[7,2044,8027,3938,123036,993,266,121,123,122,3628,127],"class_list":["post-287035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-california","tag-high-school-sports","tag-napa","tag-napa-county","tag-napa-sports","tag-north-bay","tag-northern-california","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news","tag-sonoma-county","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
