As the CIF state track and field championships approach this weekend in Clovis, several Southland teams and athletes are generating excitement. Among the highlights is Long Beach Wilson's girls' 4x400 relay team, which recently broke the California record with a time of 3:33.83 and is now targeting a national record. Clara Adams, a member of the team, also emerged as a favorite in the 400 meters, setting a Southern Section record of 51.98 seconds. On the boys' side, Servite's Benjamin Harris is positioned to defend his title in the 100 meters after clocking a wind-aided 10.17 seconds, the fourth-fastest in state history. Other notable competitors include Venice's Lawrence Kensinger, who achieved a personal best in shot put with a mark of 65 feet 11 inches, and Braelyn Combe, who is looking to repeat her victory in the 1,600 meters while attempting a historic trifecta. The championships promise to showcase remarkable athletic talent and fierce competition.
