Benjamin Harris and Servite showcase their speed at Southern Section track championships
In comic book terms, Servite's group of talented sprinters would be described as "faster than a speeding bullet." There's so many of them that a rival coach quipped, "They run so fast no one can see them." Advertisement Under an overcast sky and with unusually cool temperatures for May, Saturday's Southern Section track and field championships at Moorpark High was not conducive of record times, but that didn't prevent the Friars from turning on the speed. It started with winning the Division 3 4x100-meter relay in 40.43 seconds but really got going when sophomore Benjamin Harris ran a career-best time of 10.32 seconds to win the 100 meters, an event in which the Friars accumulated 20 points. "I feel I have more in the tank," Harris said. "It's not my favorite weather. I like running in heat, but you have to adapt." Later in the 200 meters, he won in 20.96 seconds and Servite athletes also claimed third, fourth, fifth and sixth. Freshman Jalen Hunter won the 400 in 47.10. Advertisement Brandon Thomas, Servite's coach, has used his many fast runners to push each other in practices. "The next three weeks we're going to be real hot," he said. Servite could be a state title contender, but despite its sprinter success, the Friars fell short to Sherman Oaks Notre Dame for the Division 3 team title. The Knights found enough depth in the field events to finish with 106.5 points to Servite's 104. JJ Harel made major contributions with a win in the high jump, second place in the triple jump and fourth in the long jump. Aaron Uzan got a surprise win in the 110-meter hurdles. The Masters Meet next Saturday at Moorpark, which features the 18 best qualifiers, will have a memorable 100. Rodney Sermons of Rancho Cucamoga, a USC commit, won the Division 1 100 in 10.36 seconds. He also took the 200 in 20.29. Sophomore Demare Dezeurn of Bishop Alemany set a Division 4 100 record in 10.42 seconds. Advertisement In the girls Division 1 100, Georgia-bound Keelan Wright of Chaparral repeated as champion with a time of 11.50. Marley Scroggins of Calabasas set a Division 3 100 record at 11.59 and won the 200 in 23.84. Wright also won her 200 in 23.32. Evan Noonan of Dana Hills, one of the top distance runners in the nation, broke his own record in the Division 1 1,600 meters, winning in 4:03.71. The Stanford commit is aiming for his best performance to come next month at the Nike Outdoor Nationals. He has limited his appearances this spring trying to peak at the right time. "I wasn't planning on it today but it was fun," he said of his record. "I don't feel 100% fresh but am moving in the right direction." Advertisement Junior Alden Morales of JSerra set a Division 3 record in the 800 meters at 1:50.79. Sophomore Darren Haggerty of Viewpoint, the school's top wide receiver, surprised himself with personal bests to win the Division 4 long jump at 22 feet, 8 inches and high jump at 6-6. "It just happened," he said. Viewpoint tied Gardena Serra for the Division 4 team title. Aja Johnson of Notre Dame, headed to Louisville, won the Division 4 girls shotput at 46-2. Kaylin Edwards, the Long Beach Wilson senior who won a state championship in the 300-meter girls hurdles as a sophomore, showed she has regained her form in the 100 hurdles, winning Division 1 in 13.90. Wilson won the team title. Advertisement Braelyn Combe of Corona Santiago won her second straight Division 1 girls title in the 1,600 with a time of 4:46.99. She finished second at last year's state final to Ventura's Sadie Engelhardt. On the boys' side, Long Beach Poly (Division 1) and Culver City (Division 2) were among the team title winners. Canyon Country Canyon (Division 2), JSerra (Division 3) won girls' team titles, as did St. Mary's and Rosary, which finished tied in Division 4. Sign up for the L.A.

VulnCheck Named Startup Spotlight Competition Finalist at Black Hat Asia 2025
Vulnerability and Exploit Intelligence Technology Leader Set to Present Before Panel of Esteemed Judges on April 3 LEXINGTON, Mass., March 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VulnCheck, the exploit intelligence company, today announced that it has been named a finalist for the first-ever Startup Spotlight Competition at Black Hat Asia 2025. VulnCheck will present its comprehensive exploit and vulnerability intelligence technology to a panel of distinguished industry judges and a live audience on Thursday, April 3 at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Vulnerability exploitation has persisted as the top cybersecurity threat for years. Despite $30 billion spent annually across both the vulnerability management and threat intelligence sectors, security teams struggle to maintain pace with the volume of new vulnerabilities and the speed at which adversaries weaponize unpatched software. In fact, vulnerability exploitation increased by nearly 200% in 2024 and more than 23% of known exploited vulnerabilities (KEVs) were exploited on or before the day their CVEs were publicly disclosed. Recognizing the need to gather better data, faster, VulnCheck built an autonomous collection system to monitor threats at internet scale to give customers a prioritized view of the vulnerabilities that matter. "We now see sophisticated cybercriminals exploiting new vulnerabilities in as little as four hours," said Benjamin Harris, CEO and founder at watchTowr. "Defenders need to determine exposure to emerging vulnerabilities much sooner to effectively respond and prevent attacks before they occur. While dealing with slowdowns within industry-standard intelligence sources like CISA KEV, NVD and MITRE, VulnCheck data helps us fill this gap." VulnCheck delivers the most comprehensive, real-time exploit and vulnerability intelligence, autonomously collected at the time of disclosure. VulnCheck sources data from nearly 500 channels and over 400 million records across all CVEs. The platform refreshes its feed multiple times per day and provides data output in machine-readable feeds. Designed for seamless integration into security workflows and products, VulnCheck enables product, security and response teams to track, prioritize, and remediate the most critical vulnerabilities early and often. "We have the largest collection of vulnerability and exploit intelligence in the industry, and we make it available before anyone else," said Anthony Bettini, CEO and founder of VulnCheck. "As vulnerabilities are exploited on an increasingly compressed timeline, we believe it is critical for this unique, best-in-class threat data to be available on a global scale. This recognition from Black Hat Asia helps us expand even further in the APAC market, reaffirms our approach and is a testament to our team's commitment to supporting analysts and defending organizations from emerging threats." Last week, VulnCheck announced a $12 million Series A funding round led by Ten Eleven Ventures, with participation from existing investors including Sorenson Capital and In-Q-Tel (IQT). This follows a year in which the company achieved 3x year-over-year Annual Recurring Revenue growth, 158% customer growth and a 100% customer retention rate. The Startup Spotlight Competition begins at 4:15 p.m. SGT on April 3. VulnCheck's Chief Marketing Officer Tom Bain will be delivering the presentation, in addition to a second talk in Business Hall Theatre A at 11:35 a.m. SGT. Bain presented on behalf of VulnCheck in the 2024 RSAC Innovation Sandbox competition, where VulnCheck was one of 10 finalists, and most recently at the Montgomery Summit, where VulnCheck was a presenting company. The panel of expert judges includes Chiko David, Programs Director at Hatch; Lucas Nelson, Partner at Lytical Ventures; Jon Ong, Senior Cybersecurity Analyst at Omdia; and Sunil Sapra, co-founder and Chief Growth Officer at Eventus Security. Shanna Daly, CISO at OpSys will host the contest.

Wishful Thinking Won't Solve the US Debt Crisis
The budget plan taking shape in Congress is likely to add some $4 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years. The ratio of public debt to gross domestic product is already close to 100%, about as high as at the end of World War II, and rising steadily. Even without new tax cuts now on the table, the debt-to-GDP ratio is on track to exceed 160% over the next few decades. A lot of economists aren't much concerned about this. In a new paper, Wendy Edelberg, Benjamin Harris and Louise Sheiner of the Brookings Institution join the ranks of the calmly complacent. Their argument is far from reassuring.
