Track and Field at the State Meet.
The Men's and Women's track teams competed at the California Community College State Championship Meet. The Men finished 2nd and the women finished 21st. FAAGAI and JEFFREY EARN INDIVIDUAL TITLES. The
setting, on a bluff high above the San Francisco Bay, was majestic. The view, however, wasn't so enjoyable for the Raiders men's track and field team California Community College championships. The Raiders, despite
two individual state champions and four runner-up performances, could only watch high atop the College Heights Stadium bleachers as Pasadena City College ran away with the state team title in the two-day meet's
final event. "We definitely left a lot of points out there," said sophomore thrower Matt Hanley. "But stuff happens." Moorpark, with 70 points through 20 events, held a five-point lead over
Pasadena entering the final event, the 4 x 400- meter relay. The Raiders, however, didn't qualify a team while Pasadena and third-place Sacramento City had the event's favorites. The Lancers' quartet sprinted away
with the title to relegate the Raiders, the 2003 state champions, to a second straight second-place finish, 75-70. The finale downbeat came hours after Eki Faagai provided a moment of glory. Adjusting his technique
to accentuate his legs, the sophomore thrower won the discus event in 163 feet, 6 inches on his sixth and final attempt. "It was do or die," said Faagai. "I just wanted to help my team." Faagai
defeated Sacramento's Matt Artua, who edged Faagai for the title last season. "What a competition," said Moorpark throws coach Bob MacKay. "Eki's a technician. (Artua) is a big, powerful guy. It's
that kind of battle." MacKay dubbed Artua "Eki's Ghost." "What a great day," said Faagai. "I was trying to kill it with my arm. That last throw, I just relaxed." Faagai's
performance came one day after sophomore J.R. Jeffrey overcame shoulder and elbow injuries to win the javelin. Four other Moorpark athletes braved the windy conditions to earn second-place finishes. Rex Bridgeforth,
the defending triple jump champion from Rio Mesa High, moved to second on his final jump (47-8). "The wind played a huge factor," said Bridgeforth. "It was going in a circle." Danny Sharf, a
Thousand Oaks High product, used the wind to his advantage in coming from behind in the third lane to earn second in the 400-meter hurdles (53.37 seconds). "The conditions were horrible," said Sharf, who
is ranked No. 6 nationally in the event. "I had to run a smart race." Josh Lubeck, another Thousand Oaks graduate, finished second in the pole vault, breaking his school record at 16-0. Moorpark's Buck
Sullivan was the runner-up in Friday's hammer throw. Sophomore Ricardo Morales was seventh in the steeplechase (9:48.18), sophomore Eugenio Guidi was ninth in the 1,500 meters (4:03.90) and Hanley was seventh in the
shot put (48-2).
On the women's side. American River won the women's team title with
90 points. Moorpark finished in 21st (13 points) to edge 23rd-place Ventura (12) and 25th-place Oxnard (10). Moorpark's Alexaraee Toeaina bounced back from a difficult regional meet to finish third in the discus
(154-7).

Gavaller (158-2) and Faagai (155-4) to pile up 29 team points. "That was just amazing," said Moorpark throws coach Bob MacKay. "We weren't seeded that way." Moorpark won the meet with 98 points, more than 10 points better than runner-up Riverside (87.5) and third-place Pasadena (86). "Everybody was just going for it," said Moorpark coach Doni Green.

Jeffrey in the javelin (187-10), Rex Bridgeforth in the triple jump (48-7) and Danny Scharf in the 400-meter hurdles (53.06 seconds). In search of their second banner in four years, the other Raiders qualifiers include Anthony Evans, Long Jump, Ricardo Morales, Steeple Chase, Eugenio Guidi, 1500m, and Brandon Dutton, Shot put, for this weekend's state championships in San Mateo.

A year ago, both the Raider Men's and Women's teams finished second in both the SoCal and State Championships.
IN THE WOMEN"S MEET. The Lady Raiders (25.5 points) finished in

week was Heather Mauck. Heather is a freshman from Moorpark High School who also competes on our school's soccer team. Heather placed 2nd in the 100m and ran on both relay teams. Heather competed in the
triple jump for her first time today and pulled out the farthest jump of the day. Another newcomer to the team, Sophomore Brianna Smith from Royal High School competed very well. Brianna took 2nd in
both the 800m and the 1500m runs. She also ran the first leg of the 4x400m relay and competed in cross-country Fall 2006. Elizabeth Wigton, a sophomore who last
competed in track for Camarillo High School in 2005 won the triple jump and ran on the 4x400m Sophomore, Sharon Wilkinson, shaved 3 seconds off her best 1500m mark from last year and 21 seconds off her 3000m
mark to place second in both in today's meet. To say the least Sharon is off to an amazing start – keep your eyes on her! Next Home Meet: Friday March 2nd.
