Gleason, Underwood star at CCS track
By DICK SPARRER
The Central Coast Section track and field championships are still nearly a month away.
But area track fans were allowed a little peak into the future when the best athletes in the section converged on the Los Gatos track on Friday night for the annual running of the CCS Top-8 Classic.
And Fremont's Mike Mattman and Thuyen Kim, Monta Vista's Dana Underwood and Lynbrook's Kim Gleason were all among the best of the best as they placed among the leaders in the prestigious event.
The CCS Top-8 meet, rained out on April 20, was rescheduled for last Friday night, and the best track and field athletes in the section turned out to compete under the lights and star-filled skies in Los Gatos.
All of the stars on Friday night weren't in the sky, though.
Lynbrook's Gleason finished among the stars with a first and a third for the Vikings. Gleason tossed the discus 133-5 for a first-place finish and heaved the shot put 38-11 1/2 third. The Lynbrook 1,600 relay later nailed an eighth in 4:22.3.
Monta Vista's Underwood and Fremont's Kim each finished fourth in their specialties at the Top-8. Underwood romped to a fourth in the 800 meters in 2:20.5 and Kim was fourth in the triple jump with a 34-2 1/4 effort.
Fremont's Jen Brown romped to a seventh in the 400 meters in 61.62.
Mattman heaved the shot put 53-2 1/2 to finish third in the event for Fremont, and Cupertino's Pat Parento hurled the discus 127-5 1/2 for an eighth.
In the boys CCS Top-8 frosh-soph division, Shariq Hashmi of Monta Vista raced to a second in the 200 meters in 23.61 and added a seventh in the 100 in 11.82.
Brian McDonough of Cupertino romped to a fifth in the 1,600 meters in 4:42.7, and Austin Sandella of Fremont was fifth in the 3,200 meters in 10:29.0.
Chris Deal of Lynbrook soared 38-10 1/2 to finish fifth in the triple jump and teammate Durell Roberts was eighth in the 200 in 24.50.
