Leave as little to chance as possible. Preparation is the key to success. – Paul Brown

This past week the Timberwolves had a terrific days at the Irvine Invite.  Many athletes earned medals and won their individual heats or flights.  Great job to all.  Both boys and girls  performed well at the Irvine Invite.  Some bright spots on Saturday; our GIRLS Frosh/Soph Relays swept the 4x100 and 4x400 first place medals.  In the short relay the team of Maya Marfatia, Lucia James, Kaitlyn Liu and Lauren Park clocked 51.92   To end the evening the team of Maya Marfatia, Lucia James, Laruen Park and Maia Murthy smoked the competition in 4:20.46  All these ladies are 10th graders and they are going to be a force for the Timberwolves the entire season.  Sophomore Maia Murthy had two seasonal best in winning the 1600m and 800m double. Her season is just beginning to take off!  Good to see Santino Diaz Garcia doing his best in the 1600m for the. boys with a new personal best of 4:23.73 moving him up on the all time list.  Lizzy Li got some much needed points for the FS girls and PR'd at 80-11 in the discus.  

Many top marks came from our FS boys team also at the Irvine Invite.  Blythe Anderson had a solid Saturday in the Pole Vault with a 10th grade record of 12ft-2"..  Our boys FS 4x400 won the race with a team of Xzaviyon Anthony, Brandon Yi, Harris Dai and Phinny Chiang. Phinny Chiang walked down the competition the last 50m for the win.  All four of these boys will have a huge impact in our upcoming PCL races.   Jacob Harper is a 10th grade thrower new to the sport who is improving weekly and had two PR's in the shot (36-4) and discus (109-10) 

But top honors go to the male athlete of the week: Josh Santos as he had a breakout day in the 100m, TJ and LJ.  The senior superstar had 3 personal best; running 10.96 on the 100m and then jumping 21-11 and 41-1 in the horizontal events. Our female athlete of the week goes to Lauren Park who is making noise at the FS division leading her team in the 100m, 200m and both relays. This young lady is just beginning to realize her talent level in our sport. 

Finally our Boys Varsity 4x400m relay team defended their title from last year with Alex Ellis, Jaedon Marvel, Dev Marfatia and Austin DIaz bringing home some backpack bling!!  They closed out the varsity boys first place invitational victory with a meet record of 3:20.41.  It is going to be another terrific 4x400 relay season for the 3rd consecutive season.  This is a phenomenal time for this early in the season.
