GILROY >> Clara Adams has not ruled it out. Whether it’s for personnel reasons or a desire to achieve a rare feat, the sophomore will sleep on it.

The North Salinas High sprinter fine-tuned herself for the Central Coast Section finals by recording the fastest times in the 400 and 200 meters Saturday at the CCS track and field trials.

Yet, in between the two events, Adams also ran the 100 — 25 minutes after the 400 — advancing into the finals as well with a mark of 12.18 seconds at Gilroy High.

“It’s up in the air,” said Adams, in attempting to compete in all three sprints at the finals. “I did all three today for endurance reasons. I will base it on how I feel. I felt fine in the 100. I’m probably still thinking about it because I want to get under 12 seconds.”

While it might be easier for Adams to achieve that feat before blistering a 400, the thought of advancing in the 100 as an underdog fuels her. If she chooses to run the 100, she’ll go in ranked fourth.

Because the 400 is first and is Adam’s priority, the decision will not be a distraction leading up to the finals, where she ran 55.44 to earn Lane 4 for next Saturday’s finals at Gilroy.

“Lanes do matter,” insisted Adams. “I felt relaxed. No stress. My mentality was good. My body was good. I think it’s time to break 54 seconds.”

Adams, who holds the county record at 54.09, was the CCS runner-up last year in the 400 to Hannah Rutherford of Mountain View, who ran the second fastest time at 55.12.

“I can’t take her lightly,” said Adams, who became the first North Salinas female athlete to podium at the state championships last spring, finishing fourth in the 400.

The pair were in the same heat in the 200, with Adams winning the race in 24.20, and Rutherford clocking 24.46. Last year, Adams overtook Rutherford over the final 80 meters to become the first North Salinas female to win a CCS title.

“I had enough time after the 100 to get my mind right again for the 200,” Adams said. “I had a good start. My curve was good. I felt comfortable. I don’t know if I need to change anything. Just get my mind set for the finals.”

Carmel’s Mack Aldi sharpened himself for the 800 finals after posting the fastest time in trials at 1:54.82. The senior took teammate Bodhi Melton with him, as he advanced as well with a career best of 1:57.44.

“We took it out pretty slow,” said Aldi, who qualified for the state meet last year in the 800. “I kicked it over the last 300. I had a lot at the end. It felt good. It felt good to see Bodhi get in as well.”

Aldi will go into the finals with a season best of 1:52.64, which is second in the CCS behind Santa Cruz’s Eli Fitchen-Young, who will not be in the 800 finals after choosing not to run the race in the trials.

“All these kids are extremely talented,” Aldi said. “I believe the race will be strategic. The goal is to run under 1:52. With placement, time will come.”

Ozzy Godoy did what he needed to do to position himself for next Saturday’s finals, advancing in the 110 high hurdles and 300 intermediate hurdles for Palma, running career bests in both events in the process.

As a result, Godoy has put his name in the state conversation, as he’ll go into the finals ranked No. 5 in the 110 high hurdles (14.96) and No. 2 in the 300 hurdles (39.03).

“I had to alternate over the last hurdle in the 300s,” Godoy said. “I just threw it (leg) up. I didn’t have the greatest warm-up because I was in the pole vault. My steps were a little off at the start. I had to come from behind.”

Godoy shaved nearly a half-second off his best time in the 300 hurdles, yet believes it will take another personal best to keep his season alive next week.

The top three in each event advance to the state championships, as well as anyone who meets a state qualifying mark at the CCS finals.

“I think I’ll have to break 39 seconds to put myself in a position to be in the top three,” Godoy said. “There are some good hurdlers out there. As for the 110s, I can’t wait until the second half of the race to get going.”

Godoy extended his season in the pole vault as well, as he was one of 10 vaulters to clear 13-feet, with all 10 advancing to the finals.

The Chieftains’ 400 relay team of Liam Henderson, Weldeon Chisum, Eli Dukes and Jaden Paul made an adjustment in their group, shaving a half second off their season best, to vault themselves into the finals with a mark 42.59.

Masters Division champion Keon Ealey is headed to the section finals in two events after qualifying in the 200- and 400-meter sprints for Seaside.

The multi-sport standout clocked a career best 49.54 in the 400 to secure the sixth fastest time, then came back later in the day to run 22.64 to earn the eighth fastest mark in the 200.

Salinas will be sending distance ace Tomas Rey-Avila to the finals in the 1,600 after the junior dipped under 4:20.00 for the first time in his career, clocking 4:19.92, putting him among the top eight.

Kitiona Tautolo of Monterey was one of three discus throwers from the Pacific Coast Athletic League to extend their season after a toss of 154-9, moving him to 10th. Watsonville’s Lisandro Pantoja and Salinas’ Joshua Na grabbed the last two qualifying spots.

Na extended his season as well in the shot put for the Cowboys after uncorking it a season-best 56-8 1/2. The senior will go into the finals seeded No. 5.

Joining Adams in the 100 girls finals — should she decide to run it — will be Anna Kosmont, who clocked a career best 12.47 to become the first Stevenson sprinter to qualify for the finals in the 100 meters.

Kosmont’s sister Juliette, who recently broke the Yale University school record in the 100, was a state meet qualifier in the 100 three years ago for Santa Catalina.

Having returned from a virus two weeks ago, Elsie Sargenti became the first Palma female athlete to qualify for the section finals, finishing fourth overall in the 100-meter hurdles (15.61).

Siobhan Ong was one of 10 pole vaulters to clear 10-6 to advance to the finals for the second consecutive year for Stevenson. The senior has a season best of 11-feet.

“I cleared the qualifying height on my first attempt,” Ong said. “It was a clean attempt. I’ll go into next week feeling a lot better about myself. I haven’t been consistent the last few weeks. It’s not ideal. But I have gotten stronger mentally.”

Ong, who is seven inches shy of the Hong Kong national record, had a near miss two weeks ago of 11-3.

“I’d like to extend my approach,” Ong said. “I’ve been on lighter poles. I’m a senior. These are my last meets. I think clearing 11-feet on a first attempt could get me to state.”

Emma Beck is returning to the section finals in both the long jump and triple jump for Salinas, sailing 37-5 in the triple jump and 16-11 in the long jump.

Beck, who missed a spot in the state meet last year by one inch in the triple jump, will go into the finals ranked No. 4, with Hollister’s Hannah Vincent the favorite in both the long and triple jump.
