Locals shine at track and field event

Laguna Beach residents Marlee Grosher and Christine Kinder each

captured first place in individual events at the Southern California

Municipal Athletic Federation Track and Field Championship at Gahr

High School in Cerritos.

Grosher grabbed first place in the Division 96 (division numbers

are based on the year the competitor was born) long jump with a leap

of 9-feet, 3.2-inches.

She also finished third in the 400-meter race with a time of

1:22.2, which is a city record time. That mark also bettered her

first-place finish at the recent county meet by 2.8 seconds.

Kinder, meanwhile, placed first in the Division 93 high jump with

a jump of 3-feet, 6 inches.

The two Laguna athletes are coached by Fred Pichay.
