Local duo look to finish strong at state track and field finals
Corona del Mar distance runner Max Douglass and Ocean View thrower Jack Paavola head into the final week of the track and field season with a brand new experience ahead of them. As they prepare to compete in the CIF State track and field championships at Clovis Buchanan High, each will be doing so for the first time. The state preliminaries take place on Friday, with the finals falling on Saturday. The expectations were dramatically different for the two. Douglass, a Notre Dame commit, was a Foot Locker Nationals qualifier in cross-country. He then broke the nine-minute barrier in winning the Eric Hulst Invitational 3,200-meter race to open his season at the Laguna Beach Trophy Invitational. Douglass, who said he dealt with a stress fracture that impacted his fitness during the winter heading into his junior track season, had another health concern this spring. 'It was definitely a rough pathway,' Douglass said. 'There was a lot of uncertainty towards the end of the season. It turns out that I got mono throughout the middle of the season, and that's the sickness that really was pulling me down. I ended up just kind of picking up the pieces again, … started taking some seconds off the mile, and it's a blessing to have made it this far.' Douglass noted feeling frustrated over how much rest is required to get over the illness, which he called 'the only choice' and resulted in the loss of 'some of the progress you've worked for.' 'I was feeling sick, just extreme muscle fatigue and soreness for a prolonged period of time,' he added. Douglass had qualified for the Southern Section's Masters Meet, which qualifies athletes into the state championships, in both the 800 and the 1,600. He chose to focus his energy on the 1,600 and booked his trip to the state meet by finishing fifth with a time of 4 minutes 12.15 seconds last Saturday. The top six in each event and those meeting at-large qualifying standards advanced. Although the state meet events are held in the evening, the National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for a portion of central California from Friday through Sunday morning. Temperatures could surpass 100 degrees this weekend. 'I know it's supposed to be very hot,' Douglass said. 'I'm honestly not worried about it because I feel like CIF prelims was pretty hot, and I feel like I could see a lot of the guys around me kind of take a hit from not being used to it, or just mentally, it just affects them more. The tougher the race is, I feel like the better I thrive in it. 'I've just kind of pictured a really tough race, one that's not going to feel good, one that's going to hurt, and I imagine that's where I'll do my best.' Paavola's progression curve has rocketed upward since the elimination portion of the schedule. After claiming the Empire League titles in both the discus throw and the shot put, he went on to top the Division 3 discus throw competition in the CIF finals. Once more, the Seahawks standout improved upon his school record in the discus throw, producing a mark of 174 feet, 10 inches in the Masters Meet. The throw was good for third place. 'All season, it was always the question of, could we get to state?' said Paavola, a Harvey Mudd commit. 'Now that I'm here, I'd say I'm pretty proud of it. I feel like it's a huge achievement. Initially, when it happened, I wasn't like crazy excited. I think I was maybe a bit shocked, but now that state's just a couple days away, I'm pretty determined, and I guess locked in. I feel really eager to compete.' The Paavola traveling party will include family, he said. Twin sisters Kate and Juliet, who are both freshmen at Ocean View, will be along for the ride. 'I'm pretty grateful because they've given up basically every Saturday in the month of May for my track meets, even their birthday, too,' Paavola said. 'They really decided to go, and I'm pretty grateful for that.' CIF Southern Section Masters MeetAt Moorpark High State At-Large Standards in parentheses 100 (10.59) — 1.

Local athletes look ahead to stretch run after Arcadia Invitational
As a new track and field season gets underway, much of the discussion fromathletes revolves around improving their marks and times. If the marks meet a standard or the times drop enough, athletes may gain entry into the Arcadia Invitational, a meet that draws talent from across the nation and provides a chance for the competitors to elevate themselves. For some, it gives an opportunity to view greatness, as it was for Corona del Mar distance runner Max Douglass. He was in the race on deck when Utah teen Jane Hedengren of Provo Timpview set the national high school record in the 3,200 meters with a time of 9 minutes 30.68 seconds. 'I've never seen a women's performance like that, especially in high school,' Douglass said. 'That was phenomenal. Props to her for getting in such good shape and getting to where she is right now.' Hedengren easily put away a top-flight field, the chase pack paced by Hanne Thomsen of Santa Rosa Montgomery with 9:58.17. 'Thank you, Arcadia, for cheering,' Hedengren said immediately after the feat. 'It really helped. … It just was amazing to have that excitement and energy here.' For the local athletes competing in the Saturday night meet at Arcadia High, it was a challenging day, their focus turning to a stretch run that includes the CIF Southern Section postseason and beyond. Douglass, a Notre Dame commit, had a breakthrough moment in dropping below nine minutes to win the Eric Hulst 3,200-meter race in the Laguna Beach Trophy Invitational on March 15. Since then, the Sea Kings' senior standout has had his momentum stalled by an illness. He clocked in at 9:09.18 in a 3,200 seeded race that saw 21 runners break the nine-minute barrier. 'If you're feeling sick and your legs aren't there, there's only so much that I feel like I can do with my mind to push through it,' Douglass said. 'I'm going to get back into shape. We got time until CIF, so I'm hopeful. I'm excited for the future. Everyone hits road bumps, so it's nothing to whine and complain about.' Sage Hill senior sprinter Jake Pirnazar crossed the finish line eighth in 10.67 seconds in the 100-seeded heat. He looked perplexed afterward, and described his feeling on the run, 'I was crashing into the ground with all my steps.' 'I was really excited to make it,' Pirnazar said of competing in the Arcadia night meet. 'This is a meet that my team had always been looking forward to since I was a freshman, so I guess I am proud to say that I made it here, but the outcome is also really disappointing at the same time.' The day did hold some promise for Pirnazar and the Lightning, who saw the 400-meter relay team drop their season-best time to 42.07 seconds in the open meet. With each improvement, the quartet that also features sophomore Adam Pirnazar and seniors Preston Simpson and James Karahalios, continues to lower the school record in the event. 'Again, our hand-offs weren't where they should have been, but we [set a new personal record],' Jake Pirnazar said. 'We're showing consistent improvement every time we run it.' Huntington Beach senior Marconi Mendoza produced a mark of 159 feet in the discus throw for a new personal record. He placed third in the rising stars meet on Friday. Coming off a career-best clearance of 15 feet in the pole vault in a dual meet against Los Alamitos on April 8, Fountain Valley junior Viet Le placed sixth in the rising stars section of the event with a mark of 14'-4'. Newport Harbor junior Natalie McCarty clocked in with seasonal-best times in both hurdles events in the open section — 100 (15.04 seconds) and 300 (44.03 seconds). 100 Seeded — 8.

CdM's Max Douglass wins Eric Hulst race in Laguna Trophy Invite
After a breakthrough cross-country season, Corona del Mar senior Max Douglass says he is running straight into the unknown, finding out with everyone else what he is capable of as he continues his ascent. Douglass laid waste to his prior personal-best time in the 3,200 meters on Saturday, when he dropped below nine minutes for the first time in winning the Eric Hulst Invitational, the featured race in the Laguna Beach Trophy Invitational. The Sea Kings' star distance runner raced to the finish line, flexing his muscle and shouting in celebration after clocking in at 8 minutes 59.28 seconds. The race produced the fastest two times in the state so far this season. Trabuco Hills senior Dylan Jubak completed the eight laps in 9:06.09 to take second place. 'This was a mystery race for me because I've never been in this kind of shape before,' said Douglass, whose time is currently third in the nation. 'The two-mile [event], I haven't had too much experience running it. I ran it a couple times last season, but I ultimately wanted to focus on the mile. 'I opened up my season with a 4:15 [in the 1,600] and a 1:56 [in the 800 at the Irvine Invitational] on tired legs, so I was looking at this race. My PR was 20 seconds slower than what I ran today from last year.' Corona del Mar coach Bill Sumner said Douglass does everything asked of him, although he's inquisitive in the process. After the race? 'Today's questions [from Douglass] — one, was I happy? 'Of course,'' Sumner said. 'What are we going to do at Arcadia? I said, 'Let's do some other stuff first.'' The Arcadia Invitational, where many of the nation's best athletes compete under the lights, will be held April 11-12. The Orange County track and field championships will take place March 29 at Mission Viejo High. Douglass was the CIF Southern Section Division 4 champion and a Foot Locker National Championships qualifier in earning Daily Pilot Boys' Cross-Country Dream Team Athlete of the Year honors in the fall. Huntington Beach sophomore Sydney Rubio, who qualified for the Nike Cross Nationals as a freshman, delivered a third-place (10:59.86) showing in the Eric Hulst race on the girls' side. She's back after being limited to one race in the cross-country season due to injury. 'In the fall, I was behind a lot,' Rubio said. 'I was climbing a wall in the harbor. I fell, and I sliced my knee on barnacles, and I had to get like 15 stitches. I couldn't run or [do other] stuff for a while.' Rubio slotted in behind Temescal Canyon's Megan Crum (10:35.62) and Tesoro's Amber Dazey (10:36.78). Newport Harbor's Marley McCullough placed fourth (11:07.20). 'I felt good at the finish,' Rubio said. 'I wasn't wobbly and stuff, a lot better than my last two miles.' The Back Bay rivals traded wins in the jumps in the boys' competition on Friday. Corona del Mar junior Colton Eggelston had a leap of 21 feet, 8½ inches in the long jump. Newport Harbor's Callan Allende was the lone competitor to conquer the 6-foot bar in the high jump. The senior had a lifetime-best clearance of 6-5 in the Eagle Invite at Santa Margarita on Feb. 22. Huntington Beach senior Alia Pasternak topped the field in the girls' triple jump with a mark of 35 feet, ½ inch. She improved upon her personal-best in the event with a jump of 35-11 in a Sunset League meet at Fountain Valley on Wednesday. Laguna Beach Trophy Invitational At Laguna Beach High 100 — 1.
