Serrra’s Rodrick Pleasant sweeps 100, 200 at CIF State track finals; Carson’s Reign Redmond wins girls 100
CLOVIS — Carson junior sprinter Reign Redmond said she didn’t believe she was going to win the CIF State title in the 100 meters until the last second.
“I had a bad start but I knew as long as I pushed through that I should be OK,” Redmond said.
The sprint sensation overcame her “bad start” Saturday night to post a time of 11.56 seconds in the 100 to finish in first place at the CIF State Track and Field Championships at Buchanan High School.

“It’s honestly amazing, just thanking God for putting me in this position because I knew, win or lose, I was just thankful to even be here,” Redmond said.
She said running 11.45 in the prelims Friday night gave her some confidence but she did not want to let her fast time go to her head.
“I don’t like to have that much confidence because when you think you are cocky or don’t be humble, that’s when something goes wrong,” Redmond explained.
Serra junior Brazil Neal finished a close second the girls 100 with a 11.57, and Serra junior Jordan Washington finished third in 11.62, which gave the Cavaliers 14 big points toward their goal of winning the girls team state championship.
The Serra girls track team opened the finals with a big 10 points in the team title race by running 46.08 to win the 4×100 relay over Golden Valley, which finished second with a 46.42. Carson was fourth in 46.93 and Long Beach Poly was fifth with a time of 47.32.
“It was exciting, very fun, just being able to be here and compete is the biggest thing for me,” said Serra junior sprinter Rodrick Pleasant, who the state championships in the boys 100 and 200.
Pleasant ran 10.30 in 100 and 20.56 in the 200. He also anchored Serra’s 4×100 relay to a second-place finish in a time of 41.50.
Pleasant said he summed up his junior season with one word: success.
“Did some really big things, some exciting things and it was a great experience,” Pleasant said.
Long Beach Jordan sophomore sprinter Jordan Washington ran 10.44 to finish second in the 100 and 21.38 to finish fourth in the 200.
