The Vacaville High School track and field teams dominated the Monticello Empire League finals on Friday, winning both the boys and girls titles for the fourth straight year.

The Vacaville boys racked up 170 points and were followed by Will C. Wood (102) and Pioneer (65), while the Vacaville girls totaled 152.25 points and were followed by Vanden (119) and Wood (64.25).

Vacaville’s distance runners led the way, running in packs to control the 800-, 1,600- and 3,200-meter races. Khloe DeLaTorre was especially impressive, winning all three races for the girls team.

“It feels great to be able to keep the banner all three years that I’ve been here,” DeLaTorre said. “Every year I’ve been here, it’s just been fun to do that victory lap with everyone and share the moment.”

Jackson Stream (4:21.10) won the boys 1600, and came in second to his younger brother Cooper Stream (9:41.53) in the 3200. Ezra D’anjou (2:00.02) finished first in the 800 after edging out Rodriguez’s Wallace Hillberg in the final lap.

“They knew they were going to be leaned on to do big things in this meet,” Monk said. “They’ve been answering that call all year, and actually they’ve been answering that call ever since I’ve been around in this program.”

Edgar Hernandez set the tone early for the Bulldogs, finishing first in the boys shot put (46-04) and discus (130-09).

“I really went into it thinking what legacy am I going to leave for my teammates,” Hernandez said. “I wanted to go out with a bang so I threw my hardest.”

Vacaville came into Friday leading by nine points in the boys events and trailing by 3.25 points in the girls events. Monk said Vacaville getting off to a strong start was crucial.

“We were a little behind what we had hoped for after day one, but it wasn’t that far off,” Monk said. “We knew that there’s a lot of points to be had on day two and the kids stepped up and kind of punctuated the win in the finals.”

While the sun beat down on the track at George A. Gammon Field, few shined as bright as Wood’s DeShawn Seymour Jr. and Vanden’s Naiaja Sizemore.

After Sizemore led the Vikings to a victory in girls 4×100 relay (48.50), Seymour hawked down Vanden’s Ethan Poirier to power the Wildcats to a victory in the boys 4×100 relay (42.74).

“It was a fun relay,” Seymour said with a laugh. “I saw my team needed me, we were down 10-12 meters coming down to my leg so I had to go catch him real quick.”

The pair of sprinters gave the audience déjà vu in the 4×400 relays, turning on the jets in the final lap to lead their teams to first-place finishes.

On top of their success in the relays, Seymour dusted the competition in the boys 100 (10.6) and 200 (22.40), while Sizemore breezed to victories in the girls 100 (11.63) and 200 (24.88).

“For all my rounds I wanted to slowly progress and get faster and faster,” Sizemore said. “Today I was shooting for 11.65 and got 11.63 so I was happy with that.”

Other winners for Vanden were Jason Achamfuor in the boys 300 hurdles (41.05), Jamarion Grace in the boys high jump (5-9) and Brooklyn Hill in both the girls shot put (33-11) and discus (102-07).

Vacaville’s Seth Mitchell finished first in the boys 110m hurdles (14.88) and Isabella Mason beat out Vanden’s Ariana Lewis by 0.01 seconds to win the girls 300m hurdles (46.80).

“As much as the distance and the throws dominated in a lot of areas, the hurdlers did a great job and we had jumpers rise to the occasion,” Monk said. “Everyone had a job and I feel really good about how well they did it.”

Several athletes qualified for the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III meet and will prepare for the events which begin on Wednesday and end on Friday.
