Senior Leed Smoole, who has been working with sprint coaches Haneef Shaheed (whose son Rashid plays for the Seattle Seahawks) and Tracy Thompson in the offseason, swept titles in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and relays with the Vikings' 4x100 and 4x400 foursomes at the Eastern League Finals Fri., May 8, at Canyon Hills.

This sets up Smoole, who also played football for La Jolla, for the CIF Division 3 Finals Sat., May 16, at Mt. Carmel High, and hopefully the CIF San Diego Section Finals meet at the same site the following Saturday.

Viking Leilani Hill (far right) wins the 100 meters
in 12.84 for the Eastern League title. The senior goes on
to the Division 3 meet at Mt. Carmel Sat., May 16.
