The city of Long Beach and the Moore League will be thoroughly represented at next weekend’s CIF Southern Section Track and Field Finals, which will take place at Moorpark High on Saturday May 11. Fifty eight Long Beach entries will take the oval and the field as they compete for individual and team glory.
Long Beach Poly leads the way with 27 entries, while Wilson is close behind with 24–both will be in the mix for both Division 1 team titles, and both increased their numbers from last year, when the two schools combined for 42 entries. They aren’t the only schools that will have athletes competing in the Finals, however. In Division 1, Millikan will have three entries, Jordan has a pair, and Lakewood has one. In Division 3, Cabrillo got one entry qualified into the CIF-SS Finals as well. St. Anthony and Compton both had athletes competing in Division 3 and 4 in the prelims on Saturday, but couldn’t get them through. Below is a list of all the Long Beach prelims entries, with qualifiers for next week’s Finals in bold.
