Pacheco set a personal record of 12 feet, 6 inches in the pole vault to place himself among the Sac-Joaquin Section’s elite. He added second-place points in the 400 behind Lyons.

Donovan Lucas won the 100 and was the runner-up in the 200. Isaiah Cruz claimed both distance events, Daniel Clemons took first in the shot put and Ben Tolman triumphed in the triple jump and placed third in the long.
