Summer time news: Wild fires, Lani Gaspar and more

It’s summer time which means not much action going on other than wild fires and Skandera’s breaking world records.
We have only gotten one robo call so far this summer for a mandatory evacuation, which was soon after reversed.

Here is a photo I took of the Ranch fire to the East of us from my house.

I’m spending my free summer hours updating Track & Field performance lists and adding a history story to them.
Some of the events were as short as five deep when I started and I attempting to make them all 50 deep.
It is a very time consuming process to find the 50 best marks ever in an event but I enjoy hunting through all the old records trying to find them.
It’s how I earn all the donation money you send me, OK nothing come in right now but I’m sure in the fall when cross country starts up I’ll get a couple.

I have these done and posted currently.
Boys
800
High jump
Long jump
Triple jump
Shot put
Girls
Triple jump

In the spring I will post up the others I am doing.
So far I have the boys pole vault done and I am currently working on the boys 100 & 200.

I came across one of the best 100’s ever run that I had missed before.
Back in 2015 El Molino’s Lani Gaspar was the star sprinter push by a deep field of local talent.

10.97/22.16 Tommy Streb, 12, Cardinal Newman
11.00/22.45 Ian Herculson, 11, Maria Carrillo
11.02/22.51 Xavier Freeman, 12, Analy
11.03/22.19 Isazah King, 12, Lower Lake
11.04 LaVon Browne, 12, St. Helena
11.13/22.55 Justin Zinnerman, 12, Rancho Cotate, 2015 AOY from his high jumping.

What I had missed was when Gaspar won both sprints at the Woody Wilson Relays there were wind readings, negative ones at that.
His 100 time of 10.95 into a -0.1 wind was the third fastest all-time wind adjusted at the time and is still at fourth ever.. He won the 200 in 22.24 -0.3 at that meet.

Fastest wind adjusted times.
