Saugus sophomore Sabrina Janes ran a personal best in the 800 meters at the CIF state track and field finals at Buchanan High School in Clovis and finished in seventh place.

Her time of 2 minutes, 11.98 seconds was the fastest by a sophomore from the Santa Clarita Valley. That includes Canyon High’s Alysia Montano, a 2012 Olympian, who ran the 800 meters in 2 minutes, 12.30 seconds as a sophomore in 2002.

Sophomore Samantha Ortega had quite a night in the 3,200. She lost her shoe midway through the race and started her end of the race kick a lap early. But she still finished in 11^th place in 10 minutes, 39.96 seconds.

Senior Rodrigo Ornelas was 17^th in the boys 3,200 race in 9 minutes, 17.68 seconds.

Valencia’s Olivia Pear was fifth in her heat in the 800 meters in the preliminaries and did not qualify for the final race.

Canyon’s Jeremy Kimmer cleared 6 feet, 5 inches in the high jump in the preliminaries and did not qualify for finals either.
