| | Submitted by Craig Isaacs |  | |
Lamorinda was represented at the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) State Track and Field Championships on June 5th and 6th by Ross Geiger (Campolindo) in the 1600m run, Eva Isaacs (Campolindo) in the shot put, Nick Vedovi (Miramonte) in the 800m run, and the Acalanes girls 4x400 meter squad (Katie Barton, Katie Berge, Katie Bruzzone, Anja Sorenson.)
Ross Geiger is currently 6th all-time at Campo in the 1600m. He ran a 4:20.74, good for 23rd place at State. On the road to State, Ross placed 3rd in the 1600m race at the CIF North Coast Section Meet of Champions (NCS MOC). He's also 8th all-time at Campo in the 800m run. Next year, he will attend Brown University.
Eva Isaacs placed 21st in the shot put with a 35' 7.75" throw. She went undefeated in both shot put and discus during league events and at the DFAL Championships. She placed 4th in shot put at the NCS MOC to qualify for State and earned a 6th place for discus, just shy of qualifying in that event. She's currently a junior and 3rd all-time Campo in shot put and 5th all-time in discus, and is looking forward to working closely with the new Campolindo Throws coach and Lafayette resident Jeff Thomas.
Nick Vedovi placed 19th in the 800m with a time of 1:56.64, and the Acalanes girls squad placed 26th in the 4x400m relay 4:02.47. Vedovi had placed 5th in the NCS MOC, and the Acalanes girls had placed 4th.
