Men’s and women’s track: Pirates roll

HUNTINGTON BEACH - Orange Coast College men’s and women’s track

teams opened the Orange Empire Conference season on the right track, so

to speak, as each squad won their four-team meets Friday afternoon.

On the men’s side, Yong Kim was a double winner, taking top spot in the

200 (21.7 seconds) and 400-meter runs (51.0).

Other Pirate winners include Carl Olsson in the 110 high hurdles (11.1),

Manuel Orozco in the 800 (2:00.9) and Troy Becker in the pole vault (15

feet).

The Pirates’ 400 relay team of Orozco, Kim, Newton Hoang and Scott

Williams took first at 3:33.33.

On the women’s side, the Pirates were dominant in the distance races.

Zoila Gomez won the 1,500 (5:07.0), while Bernice Carbajal took the 3,000

(11:04.4).

The hurdles events belonged to Kerica Navarro, winning the 100 hurdles at

18.0 and the 400 hurdles at 1:17.6.

Five different Pirates took first in field events. Connie Shuput won the

high jump (4-8), Nicole Hansen jumped 10 feet in the pole vault, Jennifer

Giffi claimed the top spot in the triple jump (30-4), Lauren McDaniel

took the shot put (36-1 1/2) and Tiffaney Cordova won the javelin throw

(92-10).

OCC’s next meet will take place Thursday at 2 p.m. at Fullerton College

against the Hornets and San Diego Mesa in a tri-meet.
