The entire Alameda-Contra Costa Athletic League got a dose of the Panthers’ depth on Saturday, as the St. Mary’s High track and field team dominated the league championship meet, winning both the boys’ and girls’ titles at Piedmont High.  

Though the Panthers’ dominance was expected, the final score still managed to turn heads, with St. Mary’s winning the boys’ championship by a gaping 118 points, and the girls’ crown by 93. The boys’ contingent swept the hurdle events, with Solomon Welch winning the 110, while also getting a first-place finish from Chris Dunbar in the 400. The girls’ win was highlighted by a variety of big efforts, including first-place finishes for distance runner Bridget Duffy, thrower Kamaiya Warren, and sprinters Danielle Stokes and Tiffany Johnson.  

Both St. Mary’s squads have earned spots in the three-day North Coast Section qualifying meet, beginning this Thursday afternoon at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill.
