May 26, 2011-- Eagle Rock had 9 athletes competing in the Los Angeles City Section Finals on Thursday at Birmingham High School, and they performed fantastically.  The 4 pole vault competitors consisting of Kim Orpinela, Jordan Hayes, Darcy Cotto, and Randell Mancilla vaulted at season-best heights.  Mancilla led the way with his 3rd place finish, vaulting 12' 1" and bettering his previous PR by 7".  

The AA girls  4 x100 team consisting of Kristin Ong, Honeyruby Anguillon, Taira Amato, and Knyleana Mathis finished 7th in the City.  Mathis also competed in the AA long jump and finished 6th, earning a medal and a spot on the finisher's podium.

The best performance of the evening came from Charence Lander who doubled in the 110 meter high hurdles and the 300 meter intermediate hurdles.  Lander finished 6th in the high hurdles in a time of 15.19 which places him 10th all-time in Eagle Rock History and was the fastest time in 30 years in that particular event.  Charence later outdid himself by capturing 2nd place in the 300 hurdles in a spectacular time of 39.92 which propelled him into 2nd place all-time in school history.  His 39.92 was the fastest time in 40 years and Charence is only the second boy to ever break 40 seconds in the 300 meter hurdle race in school history.

Charence will be traveling to Clovis next week to represent Eagle Rock and the Los Angeles City Section at the California State Track Meet.  Good luck Charence!!
