Busa uRedmond ujaha ozakwabo bethrekhi ye-Carson High abanezimbungulu.
Naye uzovuma. Ngokushesha. Uzophazamiseka lapho eprakthiza, acoshe isinambuzane ngenduku bese egijima ethusa ozakwabo. Ngolunye usuku oluhle luka-April, isikhulu saze saphonsa isinambuzane komunye wabafana beqembu lethrekhi.
Amalungu akanye nawo eyunithi ye-sprints yamantombazane e-Carson athanda ukugabadela kuka-Redmond, awela phezu kwawo ngokuhleka. Futhi-ke uzothethelelwa, uma ubheka lawa ma-sprinter amantombazane akwa-Carson futhi ucabange ukuthi awagxilile. Lapho kuhlangana khona, bayaxega emgqeni wokuqala, futhi lapho bezilolonga bangamandla angavimbeki e-entropy – bakitazana umzuzu owodwa, bezama ukukhubeka ngokulandelayo.
“Kungenzeka ukuthi abantu abaningi bayasibheka bese befana nokuthi, ‘Benzani?’” kusho uTa’Ahjah Fann, umgijimi osemncane owasuka eSanta Clarita Golden Valley ngaphambi kwesizini.
Kodwa ungawabukeli phansi lawa maColts, futhi uzophathwa uchungechunge lwe-Carson blue eshwibeka kanye nesiphepho sokugona kwebhere. Bayazi ukuthi bangayivala nini futhi bayivule nini, kusho uFann. Bonke bebematasa ngaphambi kokushisa kweqembu noyedwana emdlalweni wangoLwesihlanu wokuhlungela umpetha wombuso eBuchanan High eClovis, uRedmond engadlali nezimbungulu kodwa ekhipha imilenze evala amashiya ngaphambi kwesibhamu emjahweni wamantombazane wamamitha ayi-100.
Baphinde bakhombisa ukuthi bawuhlelo lokunqoba emikhakheni yabasubathi yamantombazane, benqoba i-4×100 relay ngemizuzwana engu-45.73 njengoba uRedmond egijima imizuzwana engu-11.47 ekushiseni okuphithizelayo kwamantombazane angu-100 ukuhola le nkundla.
Kuyisinyathelo sokuqala esibheke kulokho okungaba impumelelo enkulu yeRedmond kanye neCity Section – ukuba umsubathi wokuqala weDolobha emlandweni ukunqoba izicoco zezifundazwe zilandelana, njengoba ehlule kabuhlungu uGardena Serra waseBrazil Neal kowamanqamu wangonyaka odlule ngo-11.56 .
“Kungaba kuhle lokho,” kusho umqeqeshi weCarson u-Amrit Lal, “ngoba uReign uyingane ejabulisa kakhulu.”
Abadala basize ekufukuleni iqembu labasubathi abanekhono, eliphinde liqiniswe uhlelo olusha lomqeqeshi we-sprints uJames Shannon lokuphakamisa izinsimbi ngendlela yama-Olympic. U-Fann kanye no-Christina Gray osanda kuzalwa baphumelele kowamanqamu – kanye no-Redmond, abagijimi abathathu be-Carson abaphuma kwabane bephelele ekushiseni okukodwa.
“Sizama ukuzakhela igama kuCarson – sizama ukumela iDolobha kodwa futhi sizame ukuzimela,” kusho u-Fann ngo-Ephreli mayelana nezinhloso zeqembu, “futhi usikhiphe ebalazweni ukuze sikwazi ukugibela ngokugcwele ezikoleni. .”
IGranada Hills yengeze okunye ukuziqhenya kweCity, njengoba iqembu labafana lifuna ukuba yingqwele yokuqala emlandweni weCity kusukela eDorsey ngo-2005. Iqembu leHighlanders elinekhono le-relay linqobe ku-40.49 ku-4×100 yabafana – cishe umqhudelwano ogcwele. isibili ngesivinini kunanoma yiliphi elinye iqembu – ngenkathi isihlabani semidlalo emibili u-Dijon Stanley egijima ku-46.66 ehamba phambili ku-400 yabafana futhi washaya kancane inkundla egcwele abantu ku-200 yabafana.
Umncintiswano omkhulu ka-Stanley kwengama-400 wahwamuka njengoba u-Adren Parker we-La Mesa Helix – ongene ngesikhathi sembewu eshesha isibili – akagijimanga ngakho-ke ngeke adlulele kowamanqamu. Olandelayo inselelo ngu-Xai Ricks we-Long Beach Poly, ofake i-46.68.
Ababukeli kuzomele balinde olunye usuku ukuze babone uRodrick Pleasant kaSerra ezama ukwephula irekhodi le-state-meet ku-100 metres, njengoba eqede nge-ho-hum isikhathi esingu-10.36 ukuhola inkundla ngemizuzwana engu-.14.
