Central High junior Emanuel Morgan won the West Coast Relays boys 400-meter race with a time of 47.57 at Buchanan High on April 5, 2025.<\/p>\n

Special to The Fresno Bee<\/p>\n

Many high school track and field athletes will converge at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Clovis for the Central Section Masters meet.<\/p>\n

The one-day event serves as the prelude to the CIF state championships, which will also be held at the same venue.<\/p>\n

State champion Conor Lott will not compete in Saturday\u2019s Masters meet after suffering an injury during the season. As a result, he will not defend his 1,600-meter title at either the Masters meet or the state championships.<\/p>\n
