It was a cold and very windy day at Antelope Valley College in Lancaster as the Pirate track and field teams competed in the Western State Conference Preliminaries on Friday. In total, 19 athletes qualified to compete in next week's conference finals at Bakersfield. Meanwhile, there were five events of finals competition, with VC well-represented in the place-winners.
The Pirate track and field teams traveled to Antelope Valley Friday and battled the elements on a hot windy day. The teams showed grit as they competed in a preview of a condensed Western State Conference with the women placing third and the men fifth of the seven schools competing. Michelle Sanchez and Denise Cardona scored 24 of VC's 101 points in three throwing events to lead the Pirate women while Pierson Reynolds claimed the 800m for the VC men.
After over 400 days since their last competition, the Pirates suited up to step on the track, rings, and runways to continue where they left off against Moorpark and Hancock in Moorpark. Charlotte Allison led the VC women winning three individual events and anchoring a victorious relay while Gisele Ortega won the 1500m.
