Reign Redmond, Carson: Redmond had a big day at the L.A. City Section track and field championships, helping the Colts claim the team title with 169 points. Redmond won the 100 meters (11.84) and 200 meters (24.58) and ran on the 4×100 relay team that posted a time of 46.85. Redmond will be a runner to watch at this week’s CIF State Meet in Clovis.
Madeleine Conte, Monrovia: The Monrovia hurdler dominated the girls 300-meter hurdles at the CIF Southern Section Masters Meet at Moorpark High School, winning in a personal-best time of 43.33 as she qualified for the CIF State meet in Clovis this weekend. Conte also finished second in the 100 hurdles in 14.26 and qualified for the state meet in that event. Conte was the CIF-SS Division 3 champion in both events.
Emily Carr, Roosevelt: Carr cleared the bases with a long single to center field with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning as the Mustangs rallied to beat Los Alamitos 5-4 in the CIF Southern Section Division 1 championship game. Carr’s hit capped a four-run inning by Roosevelt, which trailed 4-1 entering the final inning. It was Carr’s third walk-off winner in eight games. She hit a two-run home run against Centennial on April 25, and her sacrifice fly that lifted the Mustangs to a 7-6 win over Garden Grove Pacifica in the Division 1 quarterfinals.
Jillian Albayati, Anaheim: Albayati became the first girl to pitch in a CIF-SS baseball final, allowing one run on eight hits in nine innings in a 2-1 loss in 11 innings to Estancia in the Division 6 championship. She also drove in the Colonists’ run with a RBI single in the fifth inning.
Madison Finnerty, Moorpark: Finnerty threw a perfect game in Moorpark’s 5-0 semifinal win over Heritage Christian, which advanced the Musketeers to the program’s first CIF final since 1996. The sophomore struck out 13 batters. Moorpark fell to Temple City 4-2 in the CIF Southern Section Division 4 championship game Saturday.
Ava Schaffel, Millikan: Schaffel had 10 strikeouts and gave up only three hits, one walk, two earned runs in Millikan’s 2-1 loss to Mission Viejo in the CIF Southern Section Division 2 championship game. After giving up two runs in the first inning, the sophomore ace pitched five scoreless innings, which kept the Rams in the game until the final out.
