For the third season in a row, the Cerritos College men's track and field team finished in second place at the South Coast Conference Championships. Competing at Long Beach City College on Saturday, the Falcons ended with 224 team points. Those who qualified will now take part in the Southern California Prelims, which will take place next Saturday at Saddleback College.
At the SCC Championships, the Falcons won six events, with the biggest coming in the 4x100-meter relay. The quartet of Xavier Williams (Paramount HS), Sebastian Lopez (Downey HS), Te'Quan Chatman (Bishop Verto, FL HS) and Ethan Rosborough (Narbonne HS) turned in a winning time of 41.94, while all four also scored points in other events for the team.
Cerritos also won two distance races, with sophomore Joshua Melendez (St. Paul HS) coming in first place in the 5000 meters when he posted a time of 15:28.60, while two teammates finished in third and fourth places, respectively. In the 3000-meter steeplechase, freshman Juan Flores (Warren HS) was the only entry to eclipse the 10-minute mark, as he recorded a championship time of 9:49.04.
In the field events, Tyler Robinson won the long jump when he went 7.04 meters to hold off a trio of jumpers from Mt. San Antonio College. In the hammer, Francisco Arechiga (California HS) earned a winning distance of 46.53 meters to easily win the event. He added a third place result in both the shot put and discus.
