Did I read the male Fontenot, running 13.47w, is a Freshman? Have we ever had 3 hurdlers under 14 at the same time in San Diego, even wind-aided? This is a banner year nationally for our athletes. I can’t wait to see how we rank in the latest T&FNews.
Fontenot is a freshman. His dad is the basketball coach and his sister is one of the country’s best in her hurdles. We went a long time without a sub-:14 high hurdler. Fontenot has a legitimate :13.7 in the highs. Great season for our tracksters. Thanks for writing, Terry. We met at one of those Walt Harvey lunches years ago.
Oh yeah. Track and field had some entertaining years mid 60’s into the 70’s. Some great athletes and school rivalries. Arnie Robinson and Doyle Steele come to mind quickly.
Old Balboa stadium with that new rubberized asphalt track held some great international meets in those years too.
Keep up the current reporting. Thanks. Love the track and field news.
Thank you, John. I got my start covering track for the Lincoln High school paper years and years ago. Fell in love with it.
