Janae Stanley-Castillo of La Jolla
throws the shot 33'8", her second-
best all-time as she completes
her first year of competing
in the sport. She is a sophomore.
Junior Chris Abramson of Mission Bay High
puts the shot in the para division
of competition. He has consistently set records
in meets he has competed in, as a pioneer
for student-athletes with special needs.
His one-on-one at Mission Bay is David Velasquez (left).
Chris had partial sight
until he was 7, then lost it
due to a degenerative
condition. He is quite
a yakker--he loves math,
imitates accents, is very
talkative and sociable.
Andrea Lorentzen Smith of Vista High is a
student-athlete who also competes in the
ambulatory division for para athletes.
Janae Stanley-Castillo warms up on the girls'
shot put triangle at Mt. Carmel High at 8:40 a.m.
Parents of the competitors are still assembling
on the hill (upper background) above the
boys' and girls' field events areas.
