Three-Ring Circus Comes to Valhalla: Conference Track and Field Finals

With weather going from breezy and cool to sunny and fresh—and then back to chilly at dusk—the Grossmont Conference track championships Friday offered a climate for everyone. Parents wearing jackets or wrapped in blankets cheered from the stands or fences, and old track fans came out to savor the three-ring atmosphere, with red-jacketed starters warning parents with small children the gun was about to go off.

In the final event, Grossmont High School’s favored 4x400-meter boys relay team was upset by Mt. Miguel High School at Valhalla’s all-weather track. But plenty of Hillers, and Highlanders as well, excelled in the final meet before CIF. One reliable star was Helix’s Lee McAllister, who won the 1500-meter run and came back later to compete in the 3200—about two miles.

Results are now attached.
