Freshman Annie Pflaum was a double winner in the 800 and 1,600 to help lead the Menlo-Atherton girls to a second-place finish at the Peninsula Athletic League track and field championships.
Jeremiah Earby won the long jump, placed third in the 400 and anchored both relay teams for the M-A boys, who took third place in the team standings.
Katherine Sheldon was a big points winner for the Woodside girls, winning the long jump and triple jump and taking second in the 300 hurdles to help the Wildcats to a third-place team finish.
Aragon won both boys and girls team titles.
Pflaum’s winning times were 2:23.19 in the 800 and 5:09.56 in the 1,600.
“It wasn’t a surprise,’’ said M-A first-year head coach Aisha Swayzer. “She’s getting better every week.’’
Earby, a wide receiver and defensive back on the M-A football team who has received several Division I football offers in recent weeks, went 21-0 to win the long jump.
“He ran track as a freshman then came back this year,’’ Swayzer said. “It’s like he never left. Every week he goes a foot farther.’’
The M-A 4×100 relay team of Joseph Flood, Sebastian Sanchez Delope, Myles Jackson and Earby took first place in 44.60.
Malia Latu, who splits her time between the M-A basketball and track teams, won the 200 in 26.66, just ahead of teammate Annie Wagner (26.84). Latu, who also placed third in the 400, anchored the 4×400 relay team to a win in 4:15.50. Kendell Olesen, Tatum Olesen and Wagner were the other members of the team.
Sheldon had winning marks of 16-9.75 in the long jump and 33-0 in the triple jump. She was timed in 48.0 in her second-place finish in the 300 hurdles.
“She’s the best female athlete I’ve seen for her size,’’ Woodside coach Chris Pedrin said of the 4-foot-10 Sheldon.
The Woodside 4×100 team of Jullian Peterson, Katherine Meade, Sheldon and freshman Ava Brooks took first place in 52.25.
“They can go faster,’’ Pedrin said. “What a great group of athletes to work with.’’
Meade also took an individual championship in the high jump (5-0) and placed second in the 400.
