Braves Top Orange County Schools
Sophomore Leads Team With Four Wins
Sophomore sprinter Brandon Johnson took part in four races
at St. John Bosco's season opener against Corona Del Mar and
Fountain Valley high schools. His victories in the 400 meters
(51.1) and 200 meters (22.7), coupled with his anchor leg victories
in the 4x100 and 4x400 meter relays, helped the Braves claim
commanding victories over two solid Orange County schools.
Johnson wasn't the only reason for the teams success however
as many other Braves had noteworthy performances. In the distances
seniors Mahesh Gandhi raced to victory in the 800 meters (2:00.8)
and Luis Uribe captured the 1600m (4:29.0). Junior Luis Perez
led a Bosco sweep in the 3200 meters (9:56) followed by sophomore
Jon Batres (9:56) and junior Kevin Urak (9:57). Junior Emiliano
Uranga ran a lifetime best in the 300 intermediate hurdles
to capture the win (42.6).
The Braves also posted three notable performances on the field.
Senior jumper Matt Kaufman won both the long jump and triple
jump (40' 4"). Sophomore thrower Adrian Cue placed the
shot out to 47' 2" to capture victory while his senior
thrower counter part, Jasen DePasquale tossed the discus out
to a mark of 145 feet to place first. Jasen's mark places him
second all time on the Braves discus list. |
