Tokay begins cross country season, Lodi baseball takes down Tokay
The Tokay High cross country team got its first action of the year on Wednesday, with a meet in Tracy against West.
Tokay coach Karey Harty said that the city of Tracy is not allowing use of its parks, so West created a standard 5kilometer course on campus (and 3K for the junior varsity races).
Tokay’s varsity girls won by default, with West not fielding enough runners. Twin sisters Kari and Kali Anema went 1-2, with Kari running a 19-minute, 20-second time and Kali a 20:10. Chloe Mohr was third with a person-best 21:24, Angela Machado ran a 22:17, and Harleen Samra ran a 28:33.
The Tokay boys also won by default, with Zack Kellogg placing second at 17:01 with a bad-luck step on the sidewalk setting him back. Kai BayersCardone was third at 17:55, Manny Munoz was fourth at 18:18 (after also hurting himself), Axel Castro was fifth with a personal-best 19:19, and Evan Delph rounded out Tokay’s top five with a 21:33, also a personal best.
Tokay’s JV boys won with a first-place run by Joshua Young (11:38), along with Hank Hiatt (12:08), Reuben Ripken (12:38) and Brian Yepez (13:21) taking the top four places.
Tokay’s JV girls also won, with Brook Frisk winning at 15:34, followed by Emma Shackelford at 15:52, Annalyn Grant at 16:37 and Ashley Ragon at 18:04.
