Manteca High’s boys track and field team continued its strong start to the season Saturday, placing second in the Port City Classic hosted by Bear Creek of Stockton.

 

The Buffaloes made up for their lack of quantity with quality efforts. Jordan Lyons won the 400-meter dash in 51.22 seconds and joined Eddie Smith, Tylo Both and Elijah Cooper on the winning 4x100 team that edged Franklin of Elk Grove by two-tenths of a second with a time of 44.46.

Both was also fourth in the 100 in 11.71. John McDonald of Weston Ranch won the event, blazing to a time of 11.46.

 

Joe Eavenson set a personal record in the discus throw with a mark of 130 feet, 10 inches, good for fifth place. Sophomores Carl Chandler and Lechi Nkwocha showed well in the jumps. Chandler took fourth with a 41-foot triple jump, and Nkwocha wasn’t too far behind at 40-09 ½. In the long, Nkwocha got the better of his teammate with a fifth-place mark of 19-05. Chandler was sixth with a 19-04 ½.

 

Manteca’s girls did their damage in the relays, as Sophie Barragan, Jade Griffin, Summer Kirby and Raygen were the runners-up in the 4x400 (4:35.02) and fourth in the 4x100 (54.21).

The Buffaloes VOL season opener went their way Wednesday, handling a talented Kimball team with relative ease to open league play.

Jordan Lyons raced to a first place victory in the 100-meters and assisted the 4x100-meter team to a first place finish. Joe Eavenson (discus) and Daniel Clemons (shot put) earned first place finishes for the throwers, while Carl Chandler bested the 41-foot mark to win the triple jump. He also earned a first in the high jump.

“We had a good evening and got a good early season win against a speedy Kimball team,” Manteca head coach Sean Hogan said. “They set some good early season marks.”

Manteca had clean sweeps of the top-3 places in the 800-meters and the 2-mile and nabbed the top two spots in the mile.

Manteca High’s defending Valley Oak League champion boys track and field team had a strong first showing of the 2013 season Saturday in the 9th Annual Sacramento State Classic. 

Senior Jordan Lyons was in on three top-seven finishes. He placed third out of 56 runners in the 400-meter dash, clocking a time of 49.93 seconds. 
He also took sixth in the 200 (22.61) and anchored Manteca’s 4x400 relay team that finished seventh in 3 minutes, 31.97 seconds — which eclipsed its fastest 2012 time of 3:32.14. Joining Lyons on the mile relay were Evan Fisk, Eddie Smith and Cameron Crippen.

Sophomore Carl Chandler put together a promising start to the season, marking a personal best 41-foot, 2 ½-inch leap for a fifth-place finish in the long jump. He also ended up eighth in the high jump, topping out at 5-10. Tylo Both sprinted to a time of 11.34 to take sixth in the 100, and Daniel Clemons took ninth in the shot put with a measurement of 44-8.

The Manteca girls also left their mark and were led by a pair of freshmen. Jade Griffin checked in at 13.3 for a 10-place finish in the 100 and was the fastest freshman competitor. She was also 15th with a 27.69 time in the 200. Raygen Both was 22nd (13.71) and 24th (28.34) in the 100 and 200. 

Griffin and Both teamed up with fellow freshman Summer Kirby and sophomore Sophie Barragan in the 4x100 relay. They placed ninth in 53.23.
Jessy Talarico set a personal record in the pole vault, where she finished fifth with a mark of 8-6.

Manteca begins the VOL season at home Wednesday against Kimball.

Manteca High’s boys track and field team came through with another statement win Thursday, soundly beating traditional Valley Oak League power Oakdale, 82-54.

Meanwhile, Oakdale’s undefeated girls had their way with the Lady Buffaloes, 104-22.

Sprinting standout Jordan Lyons paced the Manteca boys with wins in the 200- and 400-meter dashes. He joined Roland Pacheco, who also had himself a big day, on the winning 4x400 relay.

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.

Sophie Barragan was the Buffalo girls’ top producer with runner-up finishes in the 100 and 200.
