La Jolla's 4x100 girls relay team is not unknown around the county. The four runners--in order of their run--Maddie Lyons, Elena Farrar, Ebony Crandle, and Payton Smith--walked across the infield at Canyon Hills High with their newly-won medals around their necks. It was a vivid display of the talent and performance exhibited throughout the 2022 Spring season.
Crandle, in the third leg, delivered the baton to Smith for the anchor leg so far ahead of runners representing Morse High and OLP (whose times counted for the City League) that realistically Payton could have run a very pedestrian time and still have triumphed by a lot.
Of course, she wasn't going to do that, and the Vikings burned another good time in the end, 48.35 seconds.
Junior Isaac Chu and senior Ronald Way ran well in the 3200 meters. They finished one-two among Eastern League runners, with times of 10:03.09 and 10:17.78. In the two-league field (Eastern League competitors ran with City Leaguers), they had to contend with St. Augustine's Jimmy Markowicz, who topped them both.
Abigail Plezia, a sophomore, had to be pleased with winning the triple jump event with a distance of 34 feet, 10.50 inches, half an inch farther than her nearest competitor.
