Ozan, Prehn top local athletes at CCS meet
By Dick Sparrer
The Central Coast Section track and field champions won't be crowned until May 28 at San Jose City College.
But Los Gatos will present a preview of that event on April 23 when the top track athletes in the area go for the gold at the annual CCS Top 8 Track Classic on the Gatos oval.
The athletes with the top eight marks in each event are invited to participate in the Friday evening meet that features competition in the boys and girls varsity divisions and the boys frosh-soph group.
Del Mar will be well represented at the CCS Top 8 event.
D.J. Ozan has qualified in three events--at 400, 800 and 1,600 meters. Ozan boasts the top time in CCS in both the 800 (1:55.19) and the 1,600 (4:24.35).
Teammates Brian Harrington (800/1,600), Ruben Mastin (high jump), Garrett Jones (pole vault) and Long Troung (pole vault) have also qualified for the meet.
Allison Prehn of Prospect has qualified for the CCS Top 8 meet in two events in the girls varsity division. Prehn will compete in the long jump and triple jump.
