Several La Jolla High athletes participated in the 5th Annual Jim Cerveny Invitational Sat., April 15, under sunny skies but chilly winds that made sweatpants and sweatshirts mandatory for participants and fans when not competing.
Senior Owen Davis, headed to Middlebury College in Vermont next fall to study economics (his father is an accountant), won the Open 100 Meters in 11.80 seconds, .02 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher.
"I played center back in soccer," said the likeable Davis before the race. He attended Muirlands Middle School before LJHS.
Elijah Vaz, in the Seeded 200 Meters, placed third with a time of 24.24. The swift Vaz, who also plays basketball, is a junior.
Up-and-coming Elena Farrar, just a sophomore, finished the Frosh-Soph 200 Meters in 28.26 for fourth place.
Ellie Levine, a junior, ran the Open 100 Meters race in 14:39, placing 11th.
Junior Daphne Mayer clocked a 2:31.41 time in the 800 Meters Invite for fourth place. She was about 11 seconds off the winning pace.
Hard-working Zoe Dunfee, a sophomore, ran 6:17 in the frosh-soph 1600 meters for eighth place.
