Three Lincoln area athletes qualify for track and field Masters meet

Eight Lincoln High School athletes made it to day two in the Division III finals last Thursday at Weston Ranch High School with junior Jaden Trujillo and freshman Autumn Lamontagne qualifying for the Sac-Joaquin Section Masters meet this week. Trujillo competed in the 1,600-meter event as the alternate, finishing with a time of 4:37 in sixth-place. The top six finishers qualified for the Masters Tournament this week at Davis High School. "I haven't really focused on the event during the season, so I wanted a chance to do something great in it," Trujillo said. "It feels great to make it to the Masters because it was a huge goal of mine for the season and I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity." Also on the boys' side was Evan Carleton-Sniff who placed seventh in the 800-meter race, missing out on Masters by less than a 10th of a second. Senior Samuel Polkenhorn competed in the shot put and came in 14th at 42 feet, one inch while Tommy Trembinski was ninth in the discus at 120 feet, 11 inches. Sophomore Matteo Biagi made it to the divisional finals in the triple jump and placed 17th at 38 feet, 8.5 inches. On the girls' side, freshman Autumn Lamontagne got a personal record of 48.47 seconds in the 300-meter hurdles, finishing fifth and qualifying for Masters. Lamontagne also raced in the 4x400-meter relay, along with Savanah Penders, McKenna Magee and Celise Pacheco finishing eighth. Sophomore Mallory Kuehl finished tied for seventh in the high jump at four feet, eight inches and placed 17th in the triple jump at 30 feet, 9.25 inches. Senior Peyton Derepentigny finished her high school athletic career with Top 10 performances in both the 800 and 3,200-meter races. Trujillo and Lamontagne will have to finish in the Top 4 at Masters or reach the state at-large automatic qualifying mark if they are to advance to the state meet on May 27 to May 28. Twelve Bridges High School The Rhinos had multiple athletes compete at the Division IV and V meet at Weston Ranch High School with five making it to the final day on Friday. Freshman Aly Winston qualified for the Masters meet by winning the Division V section title in the 100-meter race, finishing at 12.26 seconds, her second fastest time this season. Winston would later qualify in the 200-meter race in second place with a time of 25.53 seconds and was only .02 seconds away from being a two-time section champion. Elodie Anderson finished ninth in the 3,200-meter race at 13:29. On the boys' side, sophomore Aaron Oriel came second in the long jump, finishing second at 20 feet, 10.25 inches. Despite the great performance, Oriel didn't qualify for masters as only the top four finishers from Division IV and Division V combined advanced and Oriel was sixth when factoring in Division IV. "Since I was an alternate coming into this meet, I told myself to leave it all out there no matter what the outcome came out to be," Oriel said. "It means a lot knowing that I ended off the season with a medal, a personal record and being at sections as a sophomore." Cameron Mobley raced in the 800-meter event and placed 10th at 2:12. Mobley also competed in the 1,600-meter race with Jackson Geiselman. Geiselman placed ninth while Mobley was 10th. Geiselman was also in the 3,200-meter race placing eighth at 10:55. Sophomore Evan Lynch competed in the 400-meter race on day one and finished in ninth at 55.73 seconds, barely missing out on qualifying for the divisional finals. Nathaniel Sheiring came 13th in the discus throw at 101 feet, eight inches.
