San Marcos High’s girls’ 4×400 relay team took second place in the CIF Southern Section track meet Saturday at Cerritos College.

Marie Rose Brashears, Elysia Hodges, Kaylin Koopmans and Hannah McDaniel raced to a 3:54.41 finish, more than two seconds off the San Marcos team record they set themselves a week ago at the preliminary meet in Costa Mesa.

The Royals’ 4×400 team was Santa Barbara County’s only girls relay team to qualify for the CIF meet.
