COS Wins Conference Title

COS Takes the CVC Men's Track and Field Crown:

Sequoias' traveled to Merced this past weekend for the Central Valley Conference Championships and showed why they are not only a force to be reckoned with in the Valley, but the State.

The Giant Men placed first in every CVC event except for four, as they came in first overall with a score of 126. Fresno City came in second with 47 points.

In the 100m Dash Holland Cabara crossed the finish line in first with a time of 10.51. Cabara followed up the performance by finishing in first of the 200m dash.

Sophomore hurdler Chris Green put on a show in both hurdles events. In the 110m, Green beat a pair of competitors from Merced to finish first at 15.16. Green then smoked everyone in the 400m as he finished first once again at 53.53.

The Giants esteemed relay teams had a bad night in the 4x100m relay as they were disqualified. In the 4x400m relay, COS came in second at 3:35.78, just behind Fresno City.

Bronson Espinoza (CVC) won the individual title in the shot put and the hammer thrown and was awarded the CVC Male Field Athlete of the year by the conference.
