Individuals from the La Cañada High School varsity girls’ track and field team recently competed in the CIF Masters Meet.
Maya DeBrouwer finished sixth in the 3,200 meters with a 10:33.41 time — the second-fastest time in school history, to earn the last qualifying spot for the state championship meet this coming weekend.
The 4×800 relay team of Charlotte Hopkins, Brittany Rivas, Yasmin Ghaneh and Katelyn Matarese took the fourth and final qualifying spot with a 9:13.95 time — the second-fastest time in school history. The team was in seventh place after three legs and approximately 80 meters behind fourth place, but Matarese ran a 2:10.4 anchor leg, the fastest split of all 60 girls in the race, to make up 100 meters and help the team punch its ticket to the state meet.
