Prep track and field: Trip to state on the line
It's too bad the CIF-Southern Section Masters Meet wasn't last weekend. Of the eight Foothill League athletes who qualified for today's Masters Meet at Cerritos College, almost all of them posted times and marks last weekend that would have bested the at-large marks for the CIF State Track and Field Championships. It's hard to put together consistent standout performances from week to week in track and field. But it would also be unwise to bet ...

Canyon's Taylor Thomas: Hurdle big when it counts
There's an old saying that means quite a bit to Canyon senior Taylor Thomas. "Everything happens for a reason," she says. That is to say, everything that happens to you turns you into the person you are. In Thomas' case, that person is a CIF-Southern Section champion hurdler, having run a Foothill League record time of 14.18 second at the Division II finals this past weekend. "Taylor did what Taylor does," says Canyon assistant coach ...
CIF softball: Pure and simple
Every year, things become more magnified during the postseason. But there was nothing complicated about West Ranch softball's loss to Santiago of Corona on Tuesday. "You can say anything you want," said West Ranch head coach Bob Shults. "They just beat us." A third-inning Santiago grand slam put some distance on the scoreboard, and the Wildcats couldn't come up with timely hits in an 8-1 loss in the second round of the CIF-Southern Section Division ...

CIF track and field: When it mattered most
WALNUT - Save your best for last, as the old adage goes. Well, several Foothill League athletes didn't do it on purpose on Saturday. But their best sure came last. Take Canyon senior jumper Tiffini Stone, who had finished as a CIF-Southern Section Division II runner-up three times in her career heading into Saturday's Division II finals at Mt. San Antonio College. She uncorked a personal-record mark of 18 feet, 5 3/4 inches in the ...

College golf: COC men come up inches short of state title
How close did College of the Canyons come to winning a state championship? "Half an inch away," said head coach Gary Peterson. COC shot a two-round score of 729 to tie College of the Desert on Monday at the California Community College Athletic Association State Championship at Santa Maria Country Club, but the Cougars lost in a card-off when Desert's sixth golfer shot a better second round than theirs. Canyons could have won its first ...
