In college track and field, College of the Canyons’ Corey Honeycutt won the 800 at the California Community College Athletic Association Track and Field State Championships at Antelope Valley College.

In auto racing, Sebastian Saavedra put his Bryan Herta Autosport car in the Indianapolis 500. He secured the 33^rd and final starting spot in the race on Sunday, but not before crashing his team’s only car and getting transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation. Bryan Herta Autosport is owned in part by Valencia’s Bryan Herta.

Saavedra posted a four-lap average speed of 223.634 mph. He had an MRI at the hospital. The results of the MRI came back negative and he will be able to race in Sunday’s Indy 500. The car, however, is in bad shape, needing among other things repairs to the rear suspension and an overhaul of the engine.

The Dodgers found themselves in first place in the National League West over the weekend, but they didn’t stay there for very long. After losing to the Detroit Tigers, 6-2, the Dodgers dropped a game behind the San Diego Padres for the top spot in the NL West.
