The Carpinteria girls won five of six field events, with Ainslee Alexander accounting for three of those, to keep the Warriors in first place in the Citrus Coast League with an 85-48 win over second place Malibu Thursday.
Both the boys and girls prevailed over Malibu to improve to 4-0 in league competition. The boys won 97-32, with Vincent Rinaldi winning his only event of the day, posting 11.21 seconds in the 100 meter dash.
For the girls, Alexander set a personal record in the long jump with 15-7.5, won the triple jump with a hop, step and jump of 32-9, and finished off with a 26.1 victory in the shot put.
“Ainslee is a great athlete with tremendous competitive spirit,” Carpinteria coach Van Latham said. “She has the making of a heptathlete. She threw the discus for the first time today and has dabbled in the pole vault.”
Fatima Cervantes won the high jump for the Warriors with 4-8 and Jenna Stadler won the discus with a throw of 70-4.
Alex Zapata won the 300 meter hurdles with a 54.92 time and finished a very close second in the 400 meters with a PR of 62.82.
The Carpinteria boys had four double winners. Irving Garcia won the long jump and triple jump with distances of 18-1.75 and 35-1.25, respectively. Esai Vega threw a PR of 141-5 in the discus and won the shot put with a toss 40-1.5. Tristan Cravens won both hurdle races with a time of 19.18 in the 110 highs and 46.46 in the 300 intermediates. Eduardo “Lalito” Vences posted wins in the 1600 and 3200 meter runs, with 5:01.57 and 11:30.39, respectively.
Mateo Handall won his only event, running the 400 meters in 52.11 seconds.
