Palisades High’s girls varsity track and field team beat Westchester, 85-25, last Friday at Stadium by the Sea in the Dolphins’ first home meet of the season. Palisades won every event except the 200 meter dash and the shot put. ‘We had some good performances and I was pleased with how we competed,’ Pali coach Ron Brumel said. Kristabel Doebel-Hickock won the two-mile race and followed that by running a 5:28 mile and anchoring the distance medley the following day at the San Pedro Easter Relays. Michelle Mahanian won the long jump in 14-8, her best distance yet. The Dolphins’ boys varsity tied the Comets, 57-57, with an impressive showing in the field events. Junior Julian Harris ran the 110 high hurdles in 17.6 and finished second in the 300 hurdles. Sophomore Matt Strangeway ran the 400 meters in 56.3 seconds and Jonathan Smith-Wesson placed second in the high jump, clearing 5-6. Palisades swept the top two places in the 400 meters and won the high jump, long jump and triple jump events. The Dolphins travel to Hamilton for a Western League meet Friday at 2:30 p.m.
